Turkey's opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) head Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has called on Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to explain why he signed a National Security Council decision in 2004 recommending an action plan against the Gülen movement, Hürriyet Daily News reports.
The document released this week deepened the row between the Hizmet (Service) movement founded by the Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen and the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) over a draft bill set to scrap test prep schools, known as dershanes.
“That document released shows how the AKP keeps a foot in both camps. Someone can show up and say ‘I signed it but I don’t know what it was.’ So I am waiting for Mr. Erdoğan to speak on this issue, why he signed the document and if he signed it after reading it,” Kılıçdaroğlu is quoted as saying.
