MHP leader sees 'security failure' in Ankara massacre

Issue No. 22 | November 16-30, 2015

A serious security failure led to the October 10 double suicide bombing in Ankara, Turkey, that killed at least 99 people, Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli has said, suggesting that the government should have resigned if it were not an interim government that will serve only until the November 1 snap election.

In an interview with private broadcaster Habertürk, Bahçeli said Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was wrong to claim that the current interim government, the caretaker of which is his Justice and Development Party (AKP), should not be dubbed an ‘AKP government.’

“The Prime Minister is talking very wrongly and is distorting facts. He is destroying institutions while covering up the truth. If bombs are carried to Ankara by coming a long way, like 935 kilometres from Raqqa, then it means there is a failure or there are facts that we do not know,” Bahçeli said.

Referring to the removal of Ankara’s police, intelligence and security chiefs from their posts after the attack in order to ease the investigation into the bombing, the MHP head said these removals ‘relieved society.’
