Kılıçdaroğlu to Erdoğan: 'Who are you threatening? Will this nation, which has not bowed to the seven powers, be afraid of you?'

President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said yesterday at a candidate introduction meeting in Hatay, "Hatay is a city that struggles to unlock its potential due to a lack of vision at the local level, even though it receives public investments in full. If the central government and local government do not join hands, if they are not in solidarity, nothing will come to that city."

??A confession from President Erdoğan that will shake Turkey:

"If the central government and local government do not join hands, nothing will come to that city... Did it come to Hatay?

"DO NOT THINK THAT THIS NATION WILL BOW TO YOU"

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu responded to Erdoğan's words on his X account. Kılıçdaroğlu's statement is as follows:

"YOU are the one who left Hatay desolate, left it abandoned. Who are you threatening? Will this nation, which has not bowed to the seven powers, be afraid of you! Do not think that this nation will bow to you through threats, blackmail, or fear. Our Can is in Hatay. Do not forget, 'One cannot prosper through tyranny'"

YOU are the one who left Hatay desolate, left it abandoned. Who are you threatening? Will this nation, which has not bowed to the seven powers, be afraid of you! Do not think that this nation will bow to you through threats, blackmail, or fear. Our Can is in Hatay. Do not forget, "One cannot prosper through tyranny"
