Babacan calls for unification behind the demand for urgent change of Erdogan's regime

Ankara-Sana

The leader of the opposition Democracy and Progress Party in Turkey, Ali Babacan, called on the opposition in his country to unite behind the demand for urgent change to the regime of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, once again criticizing the ruling Justice and Development Party's call to draft a new constitution.

"Erdogan's call for a new constitution is unrealistic," Babacan said in statements to the German website Deutsche Welle, considering that the mentality that governs Turkey at the present time is a wrong mentality that does not believe in the independence of the judiciary.

Babacan, the head of the Turkish regime, also called for an immediate stop to interfering in the judiciary and the press, and said that the Justice and Development Party “uses the money it gets from the 84 million Turkish citizens to finance Turkish television in publishing its news only.”

It is noteworthy that the International Committee to Protect Journalists has ranked Turkey as the first country in the world to suppress press freedoms and imprison journalists.

Since the attempted coup, the Erdogan regime has launched a campaign of arrests and dismissals from work that included all public sectors and led to the arrest of tens of thousands of opponents and the dismissal or suspension of work for about 150,000 government employees, army, police, judiciary, media and others.
