REACTION TO GÜLER OVER LIEUTENANTS: BEING A SOLDIER OF MUSTAFA KEMAL SHOULD NOT BE A CRIME
Reminding the committee of the investigation launched into the lieutenants, CHP Malatya Deputy Veli Ağbaba said, "We are the soldiers of Mustafa Kemal, not Trikoupis. Being a soldier of Mustafa Kemal, the founder and first commander-in-chief of the Turkish Armed Forces, should not be a crime."
In response to the reactions from the opposition, Güler replied, "I will explain it in a moment; you will hear it from the minister, not from the press."
