speech to a group of protesters attacking daily Hurriyet's headquarters in Istanbul on Sept. 6 is seen threatening Hurriyet journalists and expressing his regret that they "never beat them in the past" in a newly-surfaced video.
"They had never had a beating before. Our mistake was that we never beat them in the past. If we had beaten them..." AKP's Istanbul deputy and youth organization head Abdurrahim Boynukalin said in the video, mocking Hurriyet Editor-in-Chief Sedat Ergin and columnist Ahmet Hakan for their reactions as approximately 200 assailants smashed the newspaper building's front windows with stones and clubs.
He also reveals in the video that he mulled over waiting for Hakan in front of his house to "pull him over."
