WHO ARE YOU DRAWING THESE SWORDS AGAINST?

Erdoğan addressed the lieutenants drawing swords and chanting this slogan at the graduation ceremony, saying:

"Recently, at a graduation ceremony, some exploiters emerged and drew swords. Who are you drawing these swords against? Now, regarding these few self-ignorant individuals, they will be purged. It is not possible for them to remain within our army."

WE WILL PURGE THEM RAPIDLY 

President Erdoğan stated that it is not possible for these lieutenants to remain in the army, adding, "We are conducting our work and have held our discussions regarding these matters. We are taking steps to ensure they are purged rapidly."
