AK Party report: CHP uses same rhetoric as FETÖ, PKK


Justice and Development Party (AK Party) Deputy Chairman Mahir Ünal said an analysis prepared by his party found that the Republican People's Party (CHP), Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ) and the PKK terrorist organization have used the same rhetoric on multiple occasions.

Ünal said that the AK Party has been working to prepare a report to find out who has been lending support to anti-Turkey propaganda in the international arena. Blaming the CHP for it, Ünal said that the CHP uses the same rhetoric as terrorist groups such as the PKK and FETÖ.

Speaking to journalists in Parliament, Ünal provided information regarding the AK Party's work.

"[CHP Chairman Kemal] Kılıçdaroğlu went to the Zaman newspaper on July 17 – a FETÖ newspaper. Enis Berberoğlu, Mehmet Kamış and Ekrem Dumanlı held a meeting. Kılıçdaroğlu on May 19 said: ‘I have seen the video records of MİT [National Intelligence Agency] trucks,' so it seems that Kılıçdaroğlu watched the videos before they were passed to the Cumhuriyet newspaper. … The spokesman for the PKK used the term the July 20 coup attempt. The PKK was first to use that expression. A few days later, Kılıçdaroğlu used the same expression," Ünal said, asserting that the CHP and the PKK use the same rhetoric.

Drawing attention to Kılıcdaroğlu's efforts to spark a debate about the legitimacy of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the government, Ünal said: "Kılıçdaroğlu wants to campaign not on legitimate grounds but in the streets. Will those in the streets devise a system? Legacy is constructed by the public in 100 years. Kılıçdaroğlu opens up everything about the public for discussion. So then, he creates chaos for the public, he is playing a dangerous game. The July 15 of the public, the June 15 of the palace, public gendarmerie, the palace's gendarmerie, the jurisdiction of the public and the jurisdiction of palace. These kinds of discourses are so dangerous."

Ünal asserted that Erdoğan did not invite people to streets when he was going to prison in 1997, and that he campaigned on legitimate grounds by means of saying he never gets angry with the state.
