The leader of the Turkish Nationalist Movement, Dulat Bhagli, warned that the country was on the verge of social collapse, in the latest statement by the man who was an ally of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
"Turkey is on the verge of a social crisis, and furthermore, the rising cost of living is threatening our people," said Bhagli, who was an ally of Erdogan before he moved away because of the crisis of US Rev. Andrew Branson.
In a speech to members of his party in the Turkish parliament on Tuesday, Bakhli said the Turkish economy was hit hard by the "currency war" and stressed that "the deep wound in the economy must heal for the sake of the country and for its benefit."
The Turkish leader described the high inflation rate as a "monster of inflation" and said the government's initiative to cut goods and goods prices by 10 percent had very limited impact, stressing that the people were in a state of anxiety and fear for their future.
He warned that "this picture (of the situation) is a concern for all of us," according to the newspaper "Daily Harriet" Turkish-speaking English.
While welcoming the contact between Erdogan and US President Donald Trump, he cautioned against a "peaceful process" on the Kurdish issue.
"Trying to drag Turkey into a new peace process is a trap and a trap ... Turkish nationalists will not be fooled by it," he said.
"Negotiations with terrorists are impossible," he said, but stressed that "people of Kurdish origin are not terrorists and that we all represent Turkish nationalism."
Bahgali's reference to the peace process between the Turkish state and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in Turkey aimed at reaching a settlement to the insurgency that has been going on for more than four decades.
The Nationalist Movement Party supported Erdogan in the presidential election in June 2018, and contributed significantly to his victory during the first round of entitlement, which was a major challenge to him.
But the dispute between Bhagli and Erdogan has been evident since Branson's release, when Bhagli pointed out that Erdogan had charged his country with a heavy price before the priest was finally released, noting that the decision had "hurt national sentiment."
