Former CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu stated in a video he released, "The CHP must be part of the process. It must take risks. It should approach the issue from a non-partisan perspective and put its hand under the stone."
Kılıçdaroğlu, the former chairman of the CHP, directed harsh criticisms at the current CHP administration through a video he published on his official social media account.
"CHP CANNOT BE ASSOCIATED WITH BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION"
Kılıçdaroğlu, who said, "Dear friends, my hardworking road and cause companions, and the patriotic children of this country; the Republican People's Party is the founding party of the Republic of Turkey. It is also the very will to protect the state and the republic. The Republican People's Party is not an ordinary party. Our party has codes, traditions, and two great missions," used the following expressions:
"The first is to keep politics clean and to hold accountable. To be able to hold accountable, one must not avoid giving an account. Giving an account is a matter of honor for every CHP member. Every political party and every politician can falter, take a step back, get involved in the spiral of bribery and corruption, and even cling to the chain of betrayal. However, the Republican People's Party cannot be associated with bribery, corruption, and the contractors of the bribery wheel; it cannot come together with them. It cannot progress under accusations and allegations of corruption. It must immediately purify itself and continue on its path. The Republican People's Party must be a party that invites our esteemed nation to a moral awakening."
VERY STRONG CRITICISM OF THE PEACE PROCESS
Kılıçdaroğlu also reacted to the CHP administration's stance on the Terror-Free Turkey process, stating: "Secondly, the Republican People's Party charts the course for the state. The Republic of Turkey has a say from the Middle East to Asia, from the Caucasus to Europe, from the Altai Mountains to the Danube. The Republic of Turkey cannot be trapped in the geographies where it has ridden horses and sacrificed martyrs. It cannot be cornered at the table of brotherly nations with which it has established a bond of affection.
The CHP must be part of the process to eliminate the threat posed by Israel and America, which are waiting for us to stumble in the Middle East, for the higher interests of the state. It must take risks and approach the issue from a non-partisan perspective and put its hand under the stone. The expectation of our nation from the CHP is to be a pioneer in the brotherhood process and to chart the course for the process. Being on the right side of history often requires courage and determination. We continue our march for rights, law, and justice with our esteemed nation before history. Stay healthy.
