PM Ahmet Davutoğlu claimed that Cumhuriyet Daily Newspaper which published the photos of MİT Trucks “threatened them”:

 “Three parties came together. Three more joined them. Fethullah Gülen, PKK and so called Kemalist Cumhuriyet Daily Newspaper who gave away the MİT Trucks. Now they interview with PKK and threat us.”

Davutoğlu spoke to public in Kırıkkale and Ankara meetings:

“Parallel structure’s newspaper captioned Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP). The Revolutionary People's Liberation Party–Front (DHKPC) joined this group. Do you see the conspiracy? They are not strong enough. We show them how valiant we are. Some of them think they teach nationalism lesson to public, some put pressure on people living in Eastern Turkey while pretend as peace dove in Western Turkey.

“A week later there will be election. I warn people who will threat voters. We will take the necessary precautions. We are the ultimate party which unites Turkey.”

“We send aid to Bayır Bucak Turkmens in order not to leave them to the oppression of Syria. Traitors want to spy on us. They complain about us to the foreign forces. They want to stop the rising Turkey.”

What did the President say?

The President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, threatened Chief Editor of Cumhuriyet Daily Newspaper, Can Dündar explicitly related to the news of Trucks belonging to MİT (National Intelligence Organization) and conveying ammo to Syria published on daily:

“Cumhuriyet Daily is a part of espionage with parallel structure. Where did you take that amount of ammo? I filed a lawsuit. If they are really honest, they will explain the truth. The journalist who made the news will pay a heavy price for it. He can’t get away with it.”

Dündar responded to the President via his twitter account and shared the video link of Eroğan’s threats with Eroğan’s statements “He will pay a heavy price for it. He can’t get away with it.” (AS/BD)
