A leading Turkish politician says the Turkish government’s wrong policies towards its neighboring states have put the political stability of the country in jeopardy, a report says.
In an interview with Turkish Ortadogu (Middle East) daily on Saturday, Deputy of Turkey’s Nationalist Movement Party, Ahmet Kenan Tanrikulu said the chaotic political situation inside and outside Turkey has harmed Turkey’s political stability and put the country’s economy on the verge of fragmentation.
Tanrikulu said the setbacks over drafting the new constitution and the increase of terror inside the country and the government’s wrong and provocative policies towards Turkey’s neighbors have placed the country in serious jeopardy.
“Turkey’s political stability has been seriously harmed and the government of [Turkish Prime Minister] Recep Tayyip Erdogan is not reliable whatsoever,” the Turkish official maintained.
Tanrikulu further highlighted the high costs of living and heavy taxes as well as people’s dissatisfaction with the country’s wrong economic policies.
“The unprecedented increase of prices has decreased people’s financial power and the unemployment is gradually on the rise,” he went on to say.
He cast doubt on the statistics of Turkey’s economic growth, saying that Erdogan’s government managed to win the votes of the nation through demagogy.
The economic stability requires political stability and Ankara is currently entangled in a difficult political situation in the region, he concluded.
