Presidential Spokesperson İbrahim Kalın evaluated President Tayyip Erdoğan’s words, “Kılıçdaroğlu has videotaped with the people in Kandil. They published them. But montage but this but this…”
Kalin, who participated in the Haberturk broadcast and answered Mehmet Akif Ersoy’s questions, said, “Our President made a statement at the Sivas rally today. ‘A short video prepared by a group of clever young people. The elements of this are real. The video itself is fiction, but the main thing is that PKK cadres made these statements. “Did he or didn’t he? That’s the real question we have to ask,” he said.
“A terrorist organization has made favorable statements about you. Naturally, you will be disturbed,” said Kalın and made the following statement:
Our President said today in Sivas. The issue is the support statements made by the PKK cadres regarding the candidacy of Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu. We didn’t shoot these. PKK cadres, terrorist leaders whose names we know, Karayılan, Duran Kalkan, and Cemil Bayık made open statements of support; Erdogan should go because we support Kılıçdaroğlu. This has been going on for 1.5 months. Why didn’t they show their sensitivity on this issue before? Our Honorable President rightly asks, ‘Do you take a clear stance against terrorism or not, I want to see it’. Kılıçdaroğlu says ‘I am against terrorism’. Isn’t HDP’s stance on this issue still decisive?
“VIDEO BY WITNESSED YOUTH”
Video edited by a group of witty young people. The elements put together in the video are real. The real issue is whether the PKK cadres made these statements or not? That’s what he should ask. We know the support statements of Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu, one after the other, of PKK cadres for 1.5 months. A terrorist organization made favorable statements about you. Naturally, you get annoyed. Naturally, you say ‘who are you’. Did we hear anything about them in Round 1? I think that Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu was disturbed by this, but he remained silent on this matter. He should have stated that in the first round, but now he does. Then talk it over with HDP. There is such a picture in public. People rightly say, ‘How come their representatives are making a statement about a candidate, we will dance victory dances on May 28’.
