In his seven YouTube videos, which have been watched more 54 million times by May 26, Sedat Peker has made unsubstantiated allegations of rape, corruption, smuggling, extortion and secret contacts between state officials and organised crime groups.

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the chairman of the Republican People's Party (CHP), has rebuffed the criticisms from senior government officials and repeated his questions over the last week's military operation that ended with the killing of 13 Turkish nationals by the PKK.

Turkey's interior minister urged the EU on Dec. 21 to hold Greece responsible for its "murders" of asylum seekers.  

"Dear [European Commissioner for Home Affairs] @YlvaJohansson, Torture and inhumane treatment by Greece has now turned into murder. Won't Greece be held responsible for these murders ignored by @Frontex?" Süleyman Soylu said on Twitter.
