has said.
"This accusation is a fallacy, a delusion that arises from having nothing to say to the public," Erdogan said in a speech in the capital Ankara on March 23, addressing words from main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu.
"Let’s assume that the president goes astray and tries [to establish] one-man rule. Before all, the nation will come down on him. We will be asked to give an account by two: The people and God," Erdogan said.
"I look at the comments of the main opposition leader. Are we living in another country? Is this person living in another world? Nothing he says has any relation to the constitutional amendments," he added.
His comments came after Kilicdaroglu criticized the constitutional amendment aiming to bringing about a "one-man regime," granting excessive powers to the president.
