People’s TV to the news by; Fatma Bostan Ünsal, one of the founders of AKP, said that she did not think that the country would ever reach this point. “Everything that has happened in the process we are in is a huge disappointment for me. What we are going through right now is much worse than what happened when we came to power. At that time, there was a restrictive environment for the headscarf. Today, however, there is a much more oppressive environment than in that period, where only the headscarf is allowed, but everything else is forbidden and unlawful. Your opposition is also not considered legitimate. This is a first in Turkey” used the phrases.
“Erdogan is an enemy of those outside his voter base”
Emphasizing that the AKP has strayed far from its founding goals, Ünsal said, “Erdogan is not consistent. At the moment, it is following a policy that is the exact opposite of our initial policy. He is someone who almost saints his own voter base, and turns those outside his own constituency into enemies. He wasn’t like that.” said.
Stating that Turkey is moving away from an environment where people can easily negotiate their views, Ünsal said, “Even my close circle and relatives have moved away from the dialogue environment. In order to constantly reinforce the right-wing conservative voters, who are thought to be 65 percent in Turkey, moves are being made that will almost disrupt the genetics of the electorate. he said.
“Everything started on June 7, 2015”
Reminding that he is also a member of the Statutory Decree, Ünsal said, “Many people have been fired just because of name confusion. There was no place where he could tell his troubles.” he said.
Fatma Bostan Ünsal stated that the process Turkey is currently in started with the fall of AKP from power on June 7, 2015. Unsal, “After the June 7 elections, the AKP should have encouraged the parliament to form a government. A coalition had to be formed. It was not established and after that we were blown up here.” used the phrases.
“Judiciary is not going through its normal process”
On the other hand, Ünsal emphasized that the cause of the economic crisis was President Erdoğan and his close circle. Organized crime leader Sedat PekerÜnsal stated that he thinks there is a grain of truth in the allegations of “These are the fates of politics moving away from being transparent and accountable. Turkey lives this fate. As Ersin Kalaycıoğlu said, this one-man rule, which is neo-patrimonial sultanism, has a structure that opens the door to it. The judicial order does not go through the normal process. What needs to be done is to return to transparency and accountability as soon as possible.” said.
“I will not vote for AKP”
Stating that AKP lost a lot of blood, Ünsal said, “After 2015, it decreased from 49.5 percent to 27 percent or something. MHP also lost blood. It seems that he will not be able to cross the threshold.r,” he said. Unsal, “Which party will you vote for in the general election?” to the question, “Of course, I will not give it to the AKP. How long have I been giving? I wouldn’t vote for Erdogan either, because that’s the reason why I don’t like all this politics. There is no sign that it will improve.” gave the answer.
“He made the two biggest mistakes about Egypt and Syria”
Yaşar Yakis, the founding member of the AKP and the first Minister of Foreign Affairs of the AKP, said that during the AKP’s rule, the two biggest mistakes in foreign policy were made regarding Syria and Egypt. Emphasizing that Turkey is unfair in both, Yakis said, “Now Egypt is trying to make up for what was done. Turkey also acts in Libya without putting all of its eggs in the same basket.” said.
Emphasizing that there is a general belief that the weapons sent by Turkey reached ISIS, Yakis said, “The international community stepped on the brakes when they realized that the weapons they had sent to aid the civilian uprising in Syria had gone into the wrong hands. Turkey, on the other hand, did not press the brakes and still does not. There is a belief that those weapons reached ISIS. What Turkey has done about ISIS is beyond denial.” used the phrases.
Yakis, used by Erdogan in 2012 “Hopefully, we will go to Damascus as soon as possible, recite Fatiha at the tomb of Saladin, and perform our prayers at the Umayyad Mosque.” He also said that he saw his statements as a very wrong and insulting behavior.
“It is possible to accept what Peker has said so far as true”
Yakis said that he did not want to completely rule out the possibility that Peker’s allegations could extend to Erdogan. “If it extends as far as the Palace, it is a very bad situation. Maybe a possibility can be prevented without going to the President or his relatives. It is possible to accept these disclosures as true as long as what Peker has said so far has not been denied. I do not think that their disclosure will go to the end in the current legal system, and I am not hopeful that an immediate result will emerge. It will be covered somehow.” he said.
Finally, Yakis emphasized that he would not vote for AKP in a possible general election and preferred to vote for someone other than Erdoğan.
“They are afraid that people will come together and create a crowded image”
Cuma İçten, one of the founders of the AKP and currently the Advisor to the Chairman of the Future Party, stated that the beginning of the cover-up of the corruption of 17-25 December was a milestone for him to leave the AKP. “The AKP added water to the milk after the 17-25 December corruption. Erdogan prevented the four ministers from being tried in the supreme court as a result of their corruption.” said.
Mentioning the bans on concerts and festivals, İçten said, “They are extremely uncomfortable with people coming together to form a crowded image and the emergence of rhetoric and slogans against the government there. Because they are so afraid used the phrases.
