Opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahceli yesterday released a written statement saying that traitors who aim to destroy Turkey's national unity, brotherhood and national integrity have lately accelerated provocations to drag Turkey into a dangerous atmosphere of tension and clashes.
The statement read, "To Turkish nationalists, I say: Under no circumstances will you lose your calm and dignity, no matter how serious the provocations you face. No influence will lure Turkish nationalists into the streets to wage a bloody battle."
