Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has hit out at the Republican People’s Party (CHP) over its planned visit to Egypt, labeling the visit a chance to send “coup experience” with the military administration in Cairo.
“They are experienced on democracy in the perspective of coups. On this issue, I suppose Turkey’s experiences are not enough; now they will attempt to earn some coup experience outside or convey their own earnings. This is what we think this trip is,” Erdoğan said at a press conference at Ankara’s Esenboğa Airport prior to departing for Russia for the G-20 Summit, on Sept. 4.
Arguing that the CHP has nothing to offer to Egypt and Iraq – which the CHP also recently visited – Erdoğan said the trip would be an opportunity to reveal the CHP’s true colors as regards to its ties with past coup d’états.
