'Framework law' reaction from Ümit Özdağ to Özgür Özel: 'Do not be a partner in the project that will destroy the Republic established by Atatürk'

Victory Party Chairman Ümit Özdağ criticized NEW Party Chairman Özgür Özel regarding the "framework law" and said, "Do not be a partner in the project that will destroy the Republic established by Atatürk."

"YOU STAND BY THEM AND WITH ATATURK!"

Özdağ stated the following in his statement on his social media account:

"Mr. Özel requires the constitutional acceptance of the Kurdish political identity (removal of Article 66) in order to end PKK terrorist acts, that is, Turkey's transition to a multinational state consisting of two separate nations. Tuncay Bakırhan expressed this clearly by saying that the national state should end. In addition, PKK and DEM want the right to education in Kurdish by amending Article 42 of the Constitution. Cengiz Çandar also states Articles 42 and 66 of the Constitution. If it changes, DEM Party will vote for Erdoğan, he said.

These are actually exactly the legal changes in Article 7 of the commission report that you mentioned in your speech. Mr. Özel, if you say yes to the same Türkiye project as the AK Party, MHP and DEM, what and whom are you against? Dear Mr. Ozel, do not be a partner in the project that will destroy the Republic founded by Ataturk! Don't say that the 55 MPs of the New Party are on the wrong side of history by saying no. Because those deputies sided with Ataturk by saying no. You too stand with them and Atatürk!”
