Turkish nation longing for justice: Main opposition leader

By Emin Avundukluoglu

ANKARA (AA) - Turkey's main opposition leader on Tuesday said the Turkish nation is longing for justice.

"When you go to the ballot box, you will either be a partner in corruption or you will vote for justice. Don't you dare. Those who violated rightful share, do not vote for CHP (Republican People's Party). We do not need ill-gotten votes, but rather 'halal' (legitimate) votes," Kemal Kilicdaroglu told his party's parliamentary group.

He noted that the Turkish nation is now longing for justice, adding: "We need justice."

"If a country's prisons are overcrowded, if 25-30 people live in 10-people wards, there is a problem," he said.

"If the rulers of the state have moved away from justice, let alone bringing justice if they are riveting injustice, then there is a problem in this country," added Kilicdaroglu.
