We Will Not Be A Part Of The Tensions," Turkish Premier

MANISA - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Sunday his Justice and Development (AK) Party will not be "a part of the tensions."
"We will not take the bait and be a part of the tensions. Turkey had it enough losing because of politicians pursuing a politics of tension. Their only concern is to cloud the air and make a political profit out of it and they are not alone. They have connections and these connections are the planners of tensions in this country," Erdogan told a meeting of his party in the western province of Manisa.
Premier also criticized the leader of the main opposition Republican People`s Party (CHP), Deniz Baykal who had earlier claimed that AK Party was establishing its own "deep state."
"If there is a deep state in this country, you (Baykal) would be one to know it best. You are the architecture of the deep state," he said.
"They will not prevail in their efforts to drag the AK Party into chaos. What Turkey needs is not chaos but harder work," Erdogan said.
