During his criticism of the government and the Turkish Armed Forces in his parliamentary group meeting, Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Chairman Devlet Bahçeli slammed the Chief of General Staff Necdet Özel for the successful military operation that relocated the Tomb of Süleyman Shah in Syria. "Oh, General Özel, what does the motherland mean for you?" Bahçeli said. Özel responded saying that the nationalist leader is not in a position to question his patriotism. "These inappropriate words do not suit his personality," he added.
