President Erdoğan responded to Mesud Barzani's remarks by stating, "We find the disrespectful expressions targeting Bahçeli unacceptable."
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made important statements regarding the agenda at his party's group meeting in the Turkish Grand National Assembly. Erdoğan reacted strongly to the words of Mesud Barzani, stating, "We find the disrespectful expressions targeting Bahçeli unacceptable."
HARSH WORDS FROM BARZANI
An announcement was published by the office of Mesud Barzani, the former President of the Kurdistan Region and leader of the KDP, directed at MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli. The statement from Barzani's office included the following expressions:
"We thought that Allah had guided Devlet Bahçeli and that he had abandoned racism and chauvinism. However, it seems that he is still the old Bozkurt, only now disguised in sheep's clothing."
Unfortunately, Devlet Bahçeli has once again spoken with a chauvinistic mindset regarding President Barzani's visit to Cizre and his participation in the Melayê Cizîrî Symposium; he made statements that are far from any customs and traditions and serve no one. While Bahçeli was making these remarks, all security details and measures taken for President Barzani's visit were implemented according to the protocol agreement between the relevant institutions of the Kurdistan Region and Turkey.
Moreover, whenever high-level Turkish officials visit the Kurdistan Region, Turkey's special forces accompany them, and no issues arise.
RESPONSE FROM THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted to the statement made by Barzani's office, using the following expressions:
"The statement published today on behalf of the 'Barzani Headquarters Spokesperson' targeting the Chairman of the Nationalist Movement Party, Mr. Devlet Bahçeli, is unacceptable in terms of content and style. An explanation has been requested from the KDP leadership regarding this disrespectful and provocative statement containing baseless claims, and it has been demanded that necessary actions be taken against those responsible immediately."
WHAT DID BAHÇELİ SAY?
Mesud Barzani recently attended a program in Şırnak with his bodyguards carrying long-barreled weapons.
While the images in question sparked public debate, MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli also reacted to the situation, stating, "The presence of soldiers in foreign uniforms is a complete disgrace."
