YEREVAN (YERKIR) – Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the
general leader of the ruling AKP Party, said that he will withdraw
from politics if the AKP does not come to single-handed victory in
the upcoming July 22 elections.

Erdogan’s comments on this front came at a campaign rally in Isparta,
when he also issued heavy criticism towards Deniz Baykal, the leader
of the main opposition CHP, and Devlet Bahceli, the leader of the MHP,
Hurriyet newspaper reports.

The decision to hold parliamentary elections July 22 was taken by
President Ahmed Necet Sezer after the Turkish parliament had failed
to elect new President.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
