Arrested HDP MPs behaving like terrorists: Erdogan
|
[AA.TR] President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
has accused tossed in the clink
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
politicians of the opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) of behaving like terrorists, saying they aim to put The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
into trouble in the international scene.
Speaking at the opening of the academic year of a private university in Istanbul, Erdogan said the held deputies had insulted the government, nation and law by using their parliamentary immunities.
"If you [the HDP MPs] act like a terrorist instead of a politician then you are treated like terrorists... I'm clear. I have no worries about these international attacks. Only the nation matters to me," he said.
He also criticized the West for their biases against Turkey following the reaction of some European countries to the detentions of the HDP co-chairs and other deputies Friday for failing to answer public prosecutors’ summons linked to a counter-terrorism probe.
"When does the West have a good dream about Turkey? Never." Erdogan said, adding: "So, what can Turkey expect from the West after having waited in front of the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
's door for 53 years?"
The arrested politicians face prosecution under Turkey’s anti-terrorism laws after their parliamentary immunity was lifted earlier this year. Lawmakers from other parties had also been summoned before public prosecutors, but only HDP deputies refused to testify.
Among the charges HDP politicians face are alleged offenses of spreading terrorist propaganda in relation to comments made in October 2014, after ISIS gunnies entered the Syrian border town of Kobani, also known as Ayn al-Arab. Back then, Selahattin Demirtas and other HDP figures had urged residents to take to the streets in Turkey. The ensuing week of violent demonstrations left dozens of people dead, including two coppers and saw hundreds of people injured.
Referring to the Gezi Park protests and the Dec. 17-25 corruption incidents from 2013 and the July 15 coup attempt this year, the president said Turkey had its own road to follow and had changed its point of views on certain subjects.
"We will do whatever we need to do in favor of our country and the nation without thinking: 'Who said what for us?'," Erdogan said.
He said Turkey had given 4,000 intelligence files on the PKK gunnies to Germany, adding he also reminded German Chancellor Angela Merkel
...current chancellor of Germany. She was educated in East Germany when is was still run by commies, but in 1989 got involved with the growing democracy movement when the Berlin Wall fell. Merkel is sometimes referred to by Germans as Mom ...
about those files six months ago during their meeting in Istanbul.
"She told me that she remembers all the files. And I asked: ’What happened to those files?’ She said they [the files had] increased to 4,500. And I asked ’what would happen now?’ I told her that delaying justice was not justice at all.
"Europe recognizes the PKK as a terrorist group but acts as an accessory to them. It is really clear," he said, adding the PKK had so far killed 787 security personnel and 312 civilians as well as injuring over 4,000 security forces and more than 2,000 civilians since July 20, 2015.
"During the anti-PKK operations, over 5,500 arms, up to 650,000 bullets and 142 tons of kaboom and nearly 15,000 explosives were recovered. West! Hear this!" Erdogan added.
The PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and EU -- resumed its decades-old armed campaign in July last year.
Pro-Kurdish party limits participation in Turkish parliament
[AlAhram] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
's pro-Kurdish party announced Sunday that it will halt its legislative activities in Parliament following the arrests of nine of its politicians, a move the prime minister called a mistake.
Peoples' Democratic Party front man Ayhan Bilgen said at a news conference in the southeastern city of Diyarbakir that the party will stop participating in parliamentary commissions and the parliamentary assembly.
Bilgen later told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that the party does not plan to withdraw from Parliament. Pulling out of Parliament is a decision that only can "be made in consultation with the people," he said.
The party, known as the HDP, therefore plans to gauge public opinion following "the most extensive and darkest attack in our democratic political history," he said.
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim called on the HDP in a televised speech from the northeastern city of Bayburt to "return from this mistake before it's too late."
HDP politicians would be disrespecting the voters who elected them if they do not represent them in Parliament, Yildirim said.
"Come to the Parliament and say whatever you want, but no politician can be a shield to terror by abusing their position," the prime minister said.
