Baku-APA. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan sued main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader over his remarks last week in Belgium that ErdoÄŸan is a “murderer” and later on Tuesday that he is “a dictator,” seeking TL 1 mln as compensation, APA reports quoting Todays Zaman.
ErdoÄŸan earlier said nobody can describe the prime minister of “this country” as a murderer.
Speaking at a press conference during a visit to Brussels on Wednesday last week, KılıçdaroÄŸlu said the only difference between Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and ErdoÄŸan is in the “degree of authoritarianism.” Criticizing ErdoÄŸan's policy on Syria, KılıçdaroÄŸlu branded the prime minister the “murderer of 51 people” killed when two car bombs exploded in the town of Reyhanlı on the Syria border on May 11. He also said ErdoÄŸan was similar to Assad and called him a dictator. The remarks were also found inflammatory by Hannes Swoboda, president of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, who canceled a meeting with KılıçdaroÄŸlu in Belgium saying his comparison of ErdoÄŸan to Syria's embattled President Assad was “unacceptable.”
