The Deputy Chairman of the Welfare Party, Doğan Aydal, used the expression "If the constitution does not change, President Erdoğan may flee abroad" during his participation in a television program.

Deputy Chairman of the Welfare Party, Doğan Aydal, made a controversial claim during a live broadcast as the anniversary of the July 15 coup attempt approaches.
"IT WOULD BE ANOTHER HARM FOR TURKEY"
Speaking about the new constitution works, Aydal said, "If the constitution does not change and if President Erdoğan goes abroad for some reason and leaves his son or son-in-law as his assistant, it would be another harm for Turkey," suggesting that President Erdoğan could flee abroad.
SHARP REACTION TO AYDAL'S WORDS FROM SAYMAZ
Aydal's words also sparked a debate during the live broadcast on Halk TV. Journalist İsmail Saymaz reacted to Aydal, saying, "We can criticize Erdoğan politically, but you should know what a politician will do. Not liking Erdoğan is one thing, saying something he won't do is another. Erdoğan will not leave this country. I don't consider it possible."
STATEMENT FROM AK PARTY
AK Party did not delay in responding to YRP member Aydal's words during the live broadcast. Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik said, "Disrespectful expressions are an expression of ugliness and clearly exceed the limits." Çelik, who shared a post on social media, used the following statements; "The words of Deputy Chairman of the Welfare Party, Doğan Aydal, 'If Erdoğan does not change the constitution, he will go to another country, he will go to America' are an ugly recklessness and disrespect. We strongly condemn these words.

Our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's brave stance against tutelage, all kinds of terrorism, and the fight against FETÖ, and his brave stance against all kinds of attacks from February 7 to July 15, is known to the whole world and appreciated by our noble nation.

The disrespectful expressions used by Deputy Chairman of the Welfare Party, Doğan Aydal, towards President Erdoğan are an expression of ugliness and clearly exceed the limits. We have fought against this ugliness and slander a lot until now, and we will continue to give it a political and legal response in the future..."
