Spokesperson for Turkey’s governing Justice and Development (AK) Party Omer Celik calls on the main opposition CHP to avoid ‘harmful’ and ‘manipulative actions’
"Dictatorships with no democratic track record or less than 10 percent voter turnout have no right to criticise Turkey's elections," Omer Celik, spokesperson for the governing Justice and Development Party, told reporters.
Dictatorships and countries with sham democracies have no standing to criticise Turkey’s weekend elections, said the spokesman of Turkey’s governing Party on Tuesday.Celik blasted the "dictators" in the region "who win 99 percent of the vote in elections that have less than 10 percent voter turnout."
Turning to the party’s challenge of preliminary results in the Istanbul mayoral race, Celik said the party abides by the rules and regulations of the Supreme Election Council and will continue to closely follow the process under the law.Celik called on main opposition Republican People's Party to avoid "harmful" remarks and "manipulative actions."
