Speaking on Tuesday at a MHP parliamentary group meeting in Ankara, Bahceli said: “An elected government will be only replaced by an elected one. There is no other choice. The coup attempts to overturn the government illegally will lead to a huge malignancy in the country.”
Labeling the putsch leaders hiding in the military for years as “manslayers, forever traitors in the sight of army personnel”, Bahceli added: “The dignity and chastity of democracy is saved. The reaction of the people to the coup attempt at the cost of their lives deserves appreciation.”
In a reference to Pennsylvania-based cleric Fetullah Gulen, Bahceli said: “The Republic of Turkey has been bombarded from overseas; the U.S. should extradite the head of the terror group immediately.”
