Metin Özkan

According to his political advisor Metin Özkan, the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) has a complete list of 3,000 people, who his leader Devlet Bahçeli called as ?Those who live at waterfront residences, drink whisky and vote for the Peoples? Democratic Party [HDP].?

Could there be a mathematical error, chief Bahçeli? 

The Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) has issued a criminal complaint against senior Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) officials, including leader Devlet Bahçeli, for inciting people to hatred and hostility as well insulting people.

A day after Turkey?s Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader criticized the ?dishonorable, whisky-drinking rich people? who voted for the Peoples? Democratic Party (HDP) instead of the MHP, Bahçeli?s political advisor has said they had a ?list of 3,000 dishonorable people.?

With several former journalists already serving as members of the Turkish parliament, their numbers are likely to increase as both the ruling and opposition parties have nominated a significant number of journalists from constituencies where they are likely to win.
