Turkish Opposition Leader Critical of Government Policy on Iran, Hamas and the Flotilla
(Hurriyet-Turkey) Sami Kohen - According to Kemal Kilicdaroglu, chairman of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), the support that the AKP government provides to Iran has caused isolation of Turkey in the international arena. The CHP holds the government responsible for the deaths on board the Mavi Marmara aid ship because the ship was sent to the area despite Israeli warnings. Kilicdaroglu also views the AKP's siding with Hamas as a deadly mistake. Hamas is regarded as a terrorist organization in the West, he said.
