| 2015-10-03 |
| [AA.TR] Three Justice and Development (AK) Party members suspected of being involved in the attack on Turkish journalist Ahmet Hakan Coskun have been expelled from their party as a "precautionary move", a senior party official announced Friday. Three AK Party members, said to be involved in the attack, were dismissed from the party as a precautionary move, AK Party Deputy Chairman and spokesperson Omer Celik announced via his official Twitter account. "Such mentality has no place in our party. The ones who have such a mentality have been condemned by our party; [they] cannot even pass by AK Party, let alone be a member. Such people who resort to violence will be expelled swiftly. These people cannot have any organizational bond with AK Party," Celik said in a series of tweets. Coskun, a columnist for the Hurriyet daily newspaper and host of a television show for CNN Turk network, suffered a broken nose and ribs following the assault on Thursday, according to media and hospital sources. Police later detained four suspects in the attack, which took place outside Coskun's Istanbul home. |

| #1 Such mentality has no place in our party. Translation: Dummkoffs who are so easily caught have no place in our party. |
