Ankara-Sana
Former Turkish Labor Minister Yasar Okoyan condemned the decision of the Turkish regime to drop the membership of Parliament from deputies from the Republican People's Party and the Peoples Democratic Party during the past days.
The Turkish Zaman newspaper quoted Okoyan as saying that the Justice and Development and National Movement parties are losing and turning to aggression as they continue to attack the Republican People's Party and democratic peoples, noting that "dropping the membership of three members of Parliament and arresting them immediately after the opening of the parliament sessions means that they are sending a message to everyone that they will increase aggression" .
He explained that "many parliamentarians from the ranks of the National Movement Party, Erdogan's ally, are preparing to resign and join other parties, and 63 parliamentarians from the Justice and Development Party are planning to do so."
Okoyan considered that the ruling party officials and Erdogan were provoking citizens to take to the streets and protest for the justification for declaring a state of emergency in the country, warning that if early elections were held under the state of emergency, the police and gunmen of the party would be employed to manipulate and control the funds.
Okoyan pointed out that many studies conducted by institutions close to the Justice and Development Party revealed that his ally, the National Movement Party will not achieve the minimum to form a bloc within Parliament and will get only about 8 percent of the votes, while the splintered National Good Party will get about 14 percent and the People's Party The Democrat will get about 13 percent, the main opposition party, the CHP, will receive about 30 percent. As for the status of the Justice and Development Party, some studies have also revealed that he will get 28 percent of the vote.
Okoyan announced on the twenty-seventh of last May, 63 parliamentarians intent to defect from the party of the President of the Turkish regime, Justice and Development, to move to the ranks of the Democratic and Development Party led by former Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan, with continuing cracks in Erdogan's party.
