When it comes to paying the political price of internal showdowns, the target is again our President and the AK Party. Neither their internal congress fight nor their seat fight is on our and our nation’s agenda.

We are not a party to CHP’s own internal issue. However, our answer to every unfair accusation against our President and our party is clear: Everyone should know their place. “He should not try to cover up his own crises on us.”

Those who apply to the court are from CHP, those who present evidence are from CHP, those who accuse each other are from CHP, the parties to the congress debate are from CHP…

When it comes to paying the political price of internal showdowns, the target is again our President and the AK Party.

The congress fight within themselves is also about seats…
