By Emin Avundukluoglu

ANKARA (AA) - Turkey's main opposition leader on Tuesday pledged to the country's young people that he would give them the freedom they want.

"Dear young people! I will give you the freedom that you wanted and missed," Kemal Kilicdaroglu, leader of the Republican People's Party (CHP), told his party's parliamentary group in the capital Ankara.

“You will achieve such freedom that you will criticize the person who you brought to power in the strongest way, if necessary,” he added.

Kilicdaroglu said that his party would strive to enlighten the entire country with all its young people.

"If you hear a knock on your door in the early morning, you will know that it’s a milkman, not a police officer, I promise you such freedom," he added.
