11:46 / 11/25/2009

Turkish Nationalist Movement Party leader Devlet Bahceli considers groundless charges that he is to blame for incident of Kurdish Democratic Society Party member being peppered with stones. According to Samanyolu website, he expressed confidence that Nov. 22 occurring in Izmir city is a well-staged action and let Kurds learn themselves whose game they are in.

As to regular trials initiated by Turkish Prime Minister against him, Bahceli said it is better for Premier “to start taking away my parliamentarian paycheck.”

The motorcade of Kurdish Democratic Party leader was showered with stones. The protestors carried “Fallen do not die” and “Motherland is undividable” banners. Kurds accused Bahceli of the incident. The latter repeatedly stated that Turkish authorities split the country by settling Kurdish issue.

Premier considered that these accusations go beyond the bounds of decency and sued him. Bahceli is known for his anti-Armenian rhetoric, namely he was interested whether Armenian-Turkish commission will decide on historical identity of Mount Ararat and whether Eastern Turkey is Western Armenia.
