After the operations conducted by the army against the YPG in Syria, the DEM Party targeted Syrian President Ahmed Shara. The Chief Advisor to the President, Oktay Saral, responded very harshly to the DEM Party's reactions. Saral stated, "This rhetoric targeting Ahmed Shara is based not on reality but on ideological blindness. First, learn to call the terrorists in Kandil, the baby killers, and those who drenched the cities in blood with trenches 'terrorists'."
After the army's operation in Syria, the YPG was swept from the areas where it was active. Following the operations, the words of DEM Party Co-Chair Tuncer Bakırhan stating "SDG represents the Kurds" and targeting Syrian President Ahmed Shara continue to resonate in the political world.
"FIRST LEARN TO CALL BABY KILLERS TERRORISTS" Following these words, the harshest response to the DEM Party since the beginning of the Terror-Free Turkey process came from Presidential Advisor Oktay Saral. Saral stated, "The expressions that DEM Party members have been repeating have once again revealed where everyone stands. Those who cannot put a single clear sentence between themselves and terrorism, today labeling names like Ahmed Shara as 'terrorists' is nothing but hypocrisy. This rhetoric targeting Ahmed Shara is based not on reality but on ideological blindness. Those who try to defame a figure who stands with the oppressed and does not bow to imperialist plans are actually revealing whom they serve. What a mentality that has been exploiting the suffering of this nation for years, cannot say a single word against the PKK, and blames Turkey at every opportunity says, and whom it targets has no value. It is simply tragicomic for those who cannot clean their own record to attempt to give moral lessons to others. First, learn to call the ones in Kandil, the baby killers, and those who drenched the cities in blood with ditches 'terrorists,'" he said.
ÖMER ÇELİK HAD ALSO REACTED On the other hand, AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik, in a statement after the recent MKYK meeting, said, "Those who formulate these sentences have no agenda for the Kurds, only for the organizations. It is clear who supports which organization. As if the organization they support is a society for canary lovers."
