ANKARA - ''We will altogether laugh at the vain efforts of the former politicians, who do not have any judgement to share with the society,'' Justice & Development Party (AKP) Deputy Chairman Akif Gulle said on Friday.
Speaking at an AKP coordination meeting, Gulle said, ''we will not be interested in the searches of the opposition parties for alliance. We will not let the institutions of our Republic and fundamental values of our democracy to be eroded by the former political figures that have left bad traces in the memories of our people.''
''AKP deserves to be recorded in history with its performance in the past 3.5 years. AKP put an end to the disputes, crises and nonconfidence atmosphere,'' Gulle added. Ms. Rahsan Ecevit, wife of the former PM Bulent Ecevit (who is in a coma at the hospital), recently launched an initiative to form a front to counter-balance the actual government and met some of the former politicians --such as former president Suleyman Demirel-- and some party leaders, including Deniz Baykal, chairman of the Republican People's Party (main opposition).
