Turkish Deputy PM dismisses Erdogan allegations
Bekir Bozdag says opposition Republican People's Party part of 'big campaign of slander against Turkey'
Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag on Thursday said the country’s main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) is part of “a big campaign of slander against Turkey”.
“There is a big campaign of slander against Turkey; the FETO and U.S. sympathizers in the New York leg, and the CHP in the Turkey leg,” Bozdag told Anadolu Agency’s Editor’s Desk in Ankara.
He said CHP leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu should reveal the content of the documents alleging wrongdoing on the part of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to everyone in front of journalists, parliamentarians and on television instead of "waving the papers at the group meeting".
On Tuesday, Kilicdaroglu, in a speech to party lawmakers, presented documents he claimed were evidence of his claims that relatives of Erdogan had stashed money abroad.
Erdogan rejected the allegations and vowed to resign if they could be proved.
