Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has once again thrown his backing behind the Syrian opposition while criticizing the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) for siding with the Bashar al-Assad regime.
Responding to criticisms that the government was taking a warmongering stance on Syria, the prime minister lashed out at the CHP. “Where were you when 110,000 people were killed in Syria? Where were you at when 7 million people were displaced? Historical artifacts, mosques, sanctuaries, tombs have been destroyed, where were you? Kids, women, mothers, fathers have been massacred, where were you?” Erdogan asked emotionally.
“The ones who did not speak against one of the biggest tragedies of humanity, and even slapping al-Assad’s back, now accuse us of warmongering, without shame. The main opposition sides with the regime and we stand by the opposition, the oppressed and suffering. This is our difference,” Erdogan told a meeting of the All Industrialist and Businessmen Association (TÜMSIAD) yesterday in Istanbul.
The prime minister said the number of deaths in the war-torn country had reached 110,000. “Death is death. It is not important which weapon – chemical or not – was used. We should put all the weapons used in Syria in the same category. The Syrian regime should pay the cost of these atrocities to humanity,” Erdogan said, adding that the open door policy of Turkey would continue.
