Bulent Tezcan, deputy chairman of the Republican People's Party (CHP).
Turkey’s main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP has called for the annulment of the results of Sunday’s referendum.
CHP deputy chairman Bulent Tezcan slammed the decision by the High Electoral Board (YSK) to accept unstamped ballots as valid saying, “Everyone knows that the ‘no’ side won. After pressure and threats couldn’t produce the desired results, the YSK took action. This election is an election without stamps and has no legitimacy,” he said referring to the the last-minute decision by the YSK to use the unsealed ballots.
“Packages were stolen, externally manufactured votes were used. Unstamped ballots were used. Despite these attempts, the desired results weren’t reached so the YSK took action. At this point, no one knows how many unstamped ballots were used. The only right thing to do is the annulment of the election,” Tezcan said.
This party is the one that had been in control since Turkey's entry into NATO. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk founded it, his followers are refered to as Kemalists
They are not friendly to Christians or Kurds. But they oppose Erdogan the Islamists dictatorship. This is significant, they do have a following in Turkey. They are not aligned with the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood like Erdogan is.
Turkey Ping
Good luck with that, CHP. Most times stolen votes remain stolen, especially when the thief controls most the media.
CHP is irrelevant.
It is now the Islamic Republic of Turkey.
You are correct. But this is damaging to Erdogan the Islamist’s credibility.
There are already demonstrations. Everybody knows the election was stolen.
Possibly so. We shall see if there is a real internal fight. The Kemalists do not like Erdogan’s path. They treat minorities as badly as Erdogan has, but hate the Islamists too. There are still Kemalist officers in the military in spite of the purge. I’ve had discussion with some. The don’t wear it on their sholder, but it’s there.
The Iranians found that out not so long ago.
Of course, it didn't help their cause that Washington was in cahoots with the tyrants. Some things have changed since then.
Has anyone kept track of Hillary the last 7 months??
Not I.
But she is increasingly more irrelevant as days pass. When she could no longer deliver “favors for money” her model of existence collapsed.
She is so unlikeable that nobody wants anything to do with her. She should live in fear of being tried for her past crimes. She has always been an evil B.
