President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan answered journalists' questions upon his return from his visit to China. Erdoğan responded harshly to the criticisms of CHP Chairman Özgür Özel regarding the ROKETSAN missile tests in Sinop.
RESPONSE TO "FISH ARE GETTING STRESSED"
In response to a journalist reminding him of Özgür Özel's statement that "the missile tests in Sinop disturb the fish and fishermen," Erdoğan said, "As you know, tests of the medium-range missiles developed by ROKETSAN are being conducted in Sinop. These efforts will continue for Turkey's independence. Fishing in Sinop has grown fivefold in the last 3-4 years. Sinop fishermen have no problems. Özgür Bey has no knowledge of missiles, fishing, or tourism. He made a statement saying, 'Fish are getting stressed.' Oh dear, what has happened to our country? But we will overcome these issues."
“CHP CANNOT PRODUCE SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS”
Targeting the CHP, President Erdoğan stated, "The chronic opposition problem in Turkey has not been resolved. What problem has the CHP been able to solve so far that it could provide a solution to the opposition problem? How can a party that cannot find solutions to its own internal issues produce solutions to the people's problems? The dire situation in local administrations is a testament to this. They do not know how to serve; they only know how to fight."
WHAT DID ÖZEL SAY?
CHP leader Özgür Özel, who opened the fishing season in Sinop, expressed that they are not against the works of ASELSAN and ROKETSAN, saying, "But you are saying 'do not go fishing for 182 days of the year, we will conduct missile tests.' Fishermen are suffering separately, missiles are flying over the heads of tourists. The fish are also frightened by these sounds and are leaving their nests."
Özel stated that the tests should be conducted outside the city, saying, "New locations that will not harm anyone can be found for these tests. Sinop needs tourism and fishing."
