PM Erdoğan highlights good relationship with outgoing President Gül
During a rally held on Aug. 8 presidential hopeful Prime Minister Recep Tayyip ErdoÄan preferred emphasizing the deeply rooted comradery between him and outgoing President Abdullah Gül, blaming the opposition for trying to drive a wedge between them.
âWe had a successful term with Mr. Gül, in extreme harmony,â ErdoÄan said, while addressing people in Gülâs hometown.
âOf course, those who could not bear this process have constantly sown seeds of discord,â ErdoÄan said, using an idiom, which means driving a wedge between two sides.
âDue to what we have done for our country and our state, they have tried to set each of us against the other one,â he said, suggesting one of those people was Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli.
According to ErdoÄan, unlike him, Bahçeli and main opposition Republican Peopleâs Party (CHP) Kemal KılıçdaroÄlu, as well as KılıçdaroÄluâs predecessor, Deniz Baykal, are obsessed with holding the leadership of their parties, although they could not manage their parties to success.
âThey are not taking this road to be successful. They are taking the road only to sit on that chair. Some of them laid in ambush. They worked hard to put discord in our party. Thank God, they could never manage this,â ErdoÄan said.
