| [Hurriyet Daily News] President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... has slammed Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) co-chair Selahattin Demirtas over the latter's claims that a deep state organization directly linked to Erdogan conducted a suicide kaboom attack that killed 32 people in the southeastern district of Suruc on July 20. Speaking to journalists after the Turkish-Chinese Business Forum in China, Erdogan denied Demirtas's accusations, adding that they were vulgar statements. "This is a statement that does not have any rhyme or reason and is vulgar. I would like to state that the presidency is such a high post that it would not fall for this impertinence and dishonor," Erdogan said. "I would say, 'know your place,' that's it." A suspected ISIL jacket wallah killed 31 Turkish citizens and himself on July 20 in Suruc, the Turkish town bordering Syria across from the Kurdish-held Syrian town of Kobane. Speaking at his party's group meeting in parliament on July 28, Demirtas said the Suruc massacre had been conducted by "gladio," a deep state organization that was directly linked to the presidential palace and thus Erdogan himself. "Gladio organizations that are tied to the [presidential] palace are conducting dirty games. All states conduct dirty work, but this one [referring to Erdogan's] does not use even use the state. He uses his own special organization. Intelligence does not go to the official reports of MIT [National Intelligence Organization] but directly to him," Demirtas said. "It is this special gladio organization that conducted the Suruc massacre." |
