| [Hurriyet Daily News] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's two major opposition parties have called on the government to disclose number of casualties in an attack against Turkish soldiers launched on Sept. 6 by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). "The Turkish nation wants to hear, learn and know all truths about Daglica, which are hidden and covered up. The government should immediately announce number of our deaders and share truths with the public," Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahceli said in a written statement released on Sept. 7 following the attack in Daglica of the southeastern Anatolian province of Hakkari. The attack appears to be the deadliest one by the PKK since the collapse of a three-year-old de-facto ceasefire in July. "Each passing hour will rekindle the national rage that has piled up, and the wave of social reaction and indignation will throw our country into an uncontrolled course," Bahceli added. Earlier on Sept. 7, the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) released a statement concerning the attack; however, it failed to provide a casualty toll. Speaking at a presser shortly after Bahceli's statement was released, a spokesperson for the Republican People's Party (CHP) echoed the MHP leader's call. "There is a lot to say but today is not the day for doing so. We know this," CHP's spokesperson Halu Koc said, implicating the responsibility of both President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in the rising conflict. "Almost 24 hours have passed since this sad incident. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... we haven't yet learned from the official institutions how many deaders we have," Koc said. Meanwhile, ...back at the chili cook-off, Chuck and Manuel's rivalry was entering a new and more dangerous phase... Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Sept. 7 met Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu over the Daglica attack. |
