Strong reactions came from the AK Party front to the remarks of CHP Chairman Özgür Özel targeting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Party Spokesman Ömer Çelik stated, "What he said is the clearest example of political ignorance," while Deputy Chairman Efkan Ala condemned the remarks, saying, "I denounce the unjust accusations, slander, and empty nonsense that do not even require a political response."
Speaking at the group meeting of his party in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel's remarks targeting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan received strong reactions from the AK Party side.
ÇELİK: WHAT HE SAID IS THE CLEAREST EXAMPLES OF POLITICAL IGNORANCE
AK Party Deputy Chairman and Party Spokesman Ömer Çelik stated in a social media post regarding the issue, "What Özgür Özel said about our esteemed President, our party, our alliance, and our government constitutes the clearest examples of political ignorance."
"THERE IS NOTHING LEFT IN TERMS OF LOGIC IN HIS SPEECHES"
Çelik included the following statements in his post: "We are facing speeches that are the political derivative of the 'Zihni Sinir Proceleri' in our humor history. The speeches of CHP Chairman Mr. Özgür Özel have now completely turned into political inconsistency and fabrication. What Özgür Özel said about our esteemed President, our party, our alliance, and our government constitutes the clearest examples of political ignorance. In these speeches, there is nothing left in terms of historical awareness, political evaluation, and logic. They are merely speeches made in a 'cut, copy, paste' style. There is not the slightest awareness of what politics and the state mean, how to produce politics, and how to be in opposition in Mr. Özgür Özel's words."
ALA: I CONDEMN EMPTY DELUSIONS
AK Party Deputy Chairman Efkan Ala also stated, "I condemn the irresponsible, low-level, and slogan-like statements made by CHP Chairman Özgür Özel at his party's group meeting, which are baseless accusations, slanders against our esteemed President, and empty delusions that do not even require a political response."
"THEY ARE CONDEMNED TO REMAIN WORTHLESS IN THE EYES OF OUR NOBLE NATION"
Ala's statement made via social media is as follows: "I condemn the irresponsible, low-level, and slogan-like statements made by CHP Chairman Özgür Özel at his party's group meeting, which are baseless accusations, slanders against our esteemed President, and empty delusions that do not even require a political response. Our esteemed President is a statesman who works day and night to build Turkey's future, increase its prosperity, and strengthen the unity and integrity of our nation.
Under his leadership, Turkey has reached an effective position both regionally and globally, becoming a country that firmly defends its national interests and guarantees peace and stability. Statements that attempt to overshadow Turkey's rise by resorting to daily polemics are condemned to remain worthless in the eyes of our noble nation. Turkey's determined march will continue with strong leadership and the unwavering support of its people."
