Speaking at a provincial meeting of the ruling Justice and Development (AK) party in central Malatya province, he said: "Those who do not like a powerful and stable country will stand against us. Be sure of that."

Bozdag added the nation will defend its leader against hostile intelligence agencies and terrorist organizations.
