Opposition True Path Party (DYP) leader Mehmet Agar reacted harshly to recent statements of the Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani and said, "The only capital city where destiny of this region's geography would be dominated is Ankara. Everybody should know the limits of his/her capacity. Nobody should test Turkey's power."
In related news, State Minister Kursad Tuzmen said, "Turkey's friendly hand is very hot, powerful, cordial, sincere. But Turkey's hand is very strong for those who deserve its hand instead of friendship."
Opposition Social Democratic People's Party (SHP) leader Murat Karayalcin said, "It is obvious that Barzani doesn't know that Diyarbakir is a Turkish city. Our people's reaction, especially those of Kurdish origin, should be very strong."
Meanwhile, main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) Group Vice Chairman Haluk Koc said, "10 Turkish soldiers died in the last two days.
While we're experiencing all these, just within Turkey's border, somebody is talking nonsense." Opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahceli said, "Provocations and assaults, which are impudently being carried out, will get a national response sooner or later."
