In his first public remarks on the detention of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused the opposition of playing up the incident in order to take attention away from their own internal problems.
"The opposition’s attempt to present its internal conflicts or problems with the law as the country’s most pressing problem is the height of hypocrisy. They have been trying to politicize the subject," he said.
"The opposition is aware that the majority of tip-offs and documents [in Imamoglu’s case] have been handed over to the judicial authorities by fellow [party] members. Problems of the Republican People’s Party are not the problems of our country or people. These are the problems of a very small group of ambitious people in their own offices. We, as a political party or an alliance, have no time for the opposition's theatrics," Erdogan said in a televised address.
