Speaking at his party's parliamentary group meeting, President Erdoğan stated, "We appreciate the statements of the MHP Chairman Mr. Devlet Bahçeli and find them very valuable for Turkish democracy and the brotherhood of 85 million people. We hope that the value of the hand extended by the People's Alliance will be understood by its counterparts. Our expectation is that all political parties in the parliament will act with this approach, without any discrimination." QUESTION ABOUT THE DEM PARTYAfter the group meeting, a journalist asked Erdoğan, "You said you are open to all kinds of cooperation, but the DEM Party members say there are no concrete steps. Will there be concrete steps? Can there be concrete steps? Should we wait?" "WHAT DO YOU SAY, RÜYA?"Instead of answering this question, Erdoğan turned to one of the female reporters and said, "What do you say, Rüya?" The A Haber reporter Rüya Akkuş, to whom Erdoğan directed the question, responded, "Let's maintain a moderate climate in politics without waiting for concrete steps." Erdoğan replied to the reporter's words, saying, "She gave the answer."
