A new trustee signal from Bahçeli: Wherever the terrorist organization has emerged, that place is a legitimate target.

The appointment of trustees to the Esenyurt municipality in Istanbul by the Ministry of Interior last week, and to the municipalities of Batman, Mardin, and Halfeti early yesterday morning, has caused a significant public reaction.

CLAIM THAT SHAKES UP ANKARA'S BACKROOMS

While discussions continue in Ankara's backrooms about the continuation of the trustee practice and the possibility of new appointments for other municipalities, a noteworthy message came today from MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, who attended his party's group meeting.

DID BAHÇELİ SIGNAL A NEW TRUSTEE?

Reiterating his call for terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan, Bahçeli continued his remarks by stating, "There is no tolerance for terrorism. Wherever the terrorist organization has emerged, that place is a legitimate target." These statements made by Bahçeli led to comments suggesting that "trustees could also be appointed to other municipalities."
