Secularism in Turkey

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the leader of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), has vowed to begin a journey to make peace with all social and political rival camps and create an environment to heal what he called the pains the Turkish nation was suffering from and foster hopes for a common future.

Turkey is approaching its targets of overcoming global crisis successfully, said the country's president on Nov. 10 in his speech commemorating Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, noting that the outcome of his achievements is "the road map of Turkey."

İYİ (Good) Party lawmaker Lütfi Türkkan has made a mistake by swearing at a protestor, the party leader, Meral Akşener, has said, but noted that he apologized for the incident. 

Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu announced his party's six-step plan for women in Turkey to be implemented within six months if they come to power.

İYİ (Good) Party Group Deputy Chair Lütfü Türkkan on Nov. 6 resigned from his post at the party after he was accused of swearing at a protester in eastern province of Bingöl.

Video footage posted on social media showed Türkkan swearing at a relative of a person killed by the terror group PKK protesting İYİ Party leader Meral Akşener.

Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu on Nov. 6 said he wants the Ankara and Istanbul mayors of the party to continue their duties in the face of a presidential election.

"I want our mayors to continue their duties," Kılıçdaroğlu told Karar TV.

The Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) must distance itself from the terrorist PKK, Meral Akşener, the leader of the opposition İYİ (Good) Party, has said.

"We have been stressing this for months: We put the HDP next to the PKK," Akşener said during her party's parliamentary group meeting yesterday, suggesting the HDP has close ties to the terror organization.

The youthful vice-president of Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party, CHP, says President Erdogan's 20-year rule will end at the next elections.

Marking the fourth anniversary of the İYİ (Good) Party, chairwoman Meral Akşener has vowed to come to power in the next elections and make Turkey a much more beautiful country. 

"We are today at a crossroads because Turkey is waiting for a new call," Akşener told her electorates at a meeting for celebrating the fourth anniversary of her party in Istanbul. 

Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu warned the government over what he called "unplanned" economic policies in Turkey.
