PM Erdoğan declares local poll victory amid fraud claims
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan addressed thousands of supporters of the ruling AKP who celebrated in front of the general headquarters of the party in Ankara, right after preliminary results were announced.
Erdoğan said;
“I thank everyone who prayed for our victory across the world,” said Erdoğan, after saluting the crowd for two minutes and quoting Palestinians, Egyptians and Syrians. “Of course, it is this people who deserve the biggest thanks. You have protected the independence struggle of the new Turkey. You have supported your prime minister, I thank you infinitely,”.
He slammed those who vowed “chaos after 25 March,” when it was said that a major voice recording could be released. “It is true, this people has met the traitor to the nation that deigned to listen to the Foreign Ministry,” he said, regarding the latest leaks on Syria. “We will enter their den, and they will pay the price. How can you threaten our national security on Syria? Syria is currently in a state of war against us,” he said.
“The people have spoken: They said we are here. The montage politics have lost. The Status Quo has received a severe blow today. Dirty relations and tutelage have lost,” Erdoğan said, declaring local poll victory.
“Nobody should be upset. 77 million people should know that the new Turkey has won today. This is the wedding day of the new Turkey,” said Erdoğan, thanking everybody who put in an effort for his party in the elections. Erdoğan took the stage with his family, including his youngest son Bilal, who was implicated in the December 17 corruption investigation.
