THE "WE ARE A CENTER OF ATTRACTION" TACTIC
Commenting that this delay is designed as a strategic move behind the scenes, Sinan Burhan said, "As I understand, 10 deputies have been kept back to say 'We are a center of attraction.' It is stated that these 10 deputies are being held to claim that there is interest in us. They view it entirely as a tactical strategy."
The New Party, established with 91 deputies, has risen to the position of the main opposition party in the parliament.
