Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, in a post on his social media account, reacted to the remarks made by CHP Chairman Özel regarding President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the government during his party's 21st Extraordinary Congress.

Know your place now!

Our President, Mr. @RTErdogan, has served Turkey for years with the support he received from our nation and has fought against all forms of tutelage.

We have taken orders from no one other than our nation; we have sought permission from no one other than our people.

Against every power targeting Turkey…

"Know your place now!

Our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has served Turkey for years with the support he received from our nation and has fought against all forms of tutelage.

We have taken orders from no one other than our nation; we have sought permission from no one other than our people.

We have fought against every kind of power and tutelage center that targets Turkey.

It is Özgür Özel who represents a tradition that has followed politics in the shadow of coups against the national will for years.

It is Özgür Özel who seeks legitimacy outside the ballot box and tries to design politics in the streets.

It is Özgür Özel who has been seeking help from foreign powers for weeks, begging for support from foreign capitals by saying 'we feel abandoned.'

It is Özgür Özel who tries to create a heroic story out of a corruption case.

We reject this mentality that blends its own personal ambitions with conspiracy theories and presents them under the guise of politics!

We will continue to work with determination on the path of serving our nation."
