Speaking about the recent polls, President Erdoğan stated, "There is no situation where the CHP is the leading party. Currently, the leading party in Turkey is the AK Party. The AK Party is walking this path together with the People's Alliance. Especially, is it possible for a party that is in the midst of a corruption syndrome to gain approval from the Turkish nation? Right now, there are very serious foul smells coming from everywhere."
President Erdoğan answered journalists' questions on the plane returning from Azerbaijan. Erdoğan's agenda included the opposition's statements that "the CHP is the leading party in the polls." Erdoğan stated, "There is no situation where the CHP is the leading party. As much as they conduct polls, we also conduct our own polls. Currently, the leading party in Turkey is the AK Party. Especially, is it possible for a party that is in the syndrome of corruption to receive approval from the Turkish nation? No. Right now, the most important city is Istanbul. It is clear what condition Istanbul is in. Serious foul smells are coming from everywhere right now," he said.
Erdoğan's statements included the following:
"The CHP's politics is now a politics without reciprocity. The perception idols they have created with their own hands through social media are being destroyed one by one by the solid body of the truths. They thought they could manage people's consciousness with various perceptions and manipulations, but our nation has noticed this dirty game. My citizens know that street protests will only serve the separatists and coup plotters. My advice to the CHP executives is to be patient and wait for the decisions of the independent judiciary. This process should also serve as a mirror for the CHP administration. Instead of contributing to the country's politics and producing projects, the CHP administration is hoping for help from street protests. They are trying to cover up their crimes by attempting to tarnish our judicial institutions and to exonerate the guilty through street protests. Wait, be patient... Let our independent judicial bodies make their decision; the truth will come out sooner or later. But they are distorting the issue with street protests because they cannot trust themselves or the mayors."
"THE LEADING PARTY RIGHT NOW IS THE AK PARTY"
They probably see themselves a bit in dream syndromes. There is no situation where the CHP is the leading party. As much as they conduct polls, we also conduct our own polls. Currently, the leading party in Turkey is the AK Party. The AK Party is walking this path confidently, together with the People's Alliance. Especially, is it possible for a party that is in the syndrome of corruption to receive approval from the Turkish nation? No. Right now, the most important city is Istanbul. It is clear what condition Istanbul is in. Serious foul smells are coming from everywhere right now. As the ruling party in Turkey, we are confidently continuing on our path. God willing, next week we will hold the Kızılcahamam camp. After the Kızılcahamam camp, our organization will spread throughout all of Turkey, and we will continue our work in every province. Right now, we are only focused on our work. As the AK Party, as the People's Alliance, we will, God willing, be in a race to serve our nation and continue on our path without getting involved in such filth."
