Uygar Gültekin 01.26.2015 15:34NEWS
CHP leader Kemal KılıçdaroÄ?lu made a statement regarding DoÄ?u
Perinçek's case at the European Court of Human Rights: `We do not find
it right that Mr. Perinçek is being tried for a thought he expressed.
We must stand united for freedom of thought. All the modern world
should.'
CHP leader Kemal KılıçdaroÄ?lu held a meeting at the Sait Halim Pasha
Mansion with the Greek Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomeos, Armenian
Deputy Patriarch Archbishop Aram AteÃ…?yan, Syriac Catholic Deputy
Patriarch Yusuf SaÄ?, Syriac Orthodox Church Mor Filiksinos
Metropolitan Bishop Yusuf Çetin and Chief Rabbi of the Jews of Turkey
Ä°zak Haleva.
CHP Vice Presidents Murat Ã-zçelik and Sezgin Tanrıkulu, CHP Istanbul
Provincial Chairman Murat Karayalçın, Istanbul Sarıyer Municipal Head
Å?ükrü Genç and CHP member Talin ErgüneÅ? also took part in the meeting
held with the spiritual leaders.
CHP leader Kemal KılıçdaroÄ?lu took questions from the press after the meeting.
`We listened to their problems'
`We spent the most of our meeting focusing on their problems. The
leaders explained that a part of the problems stemmed from laws, and
some also stemmed from practices. As the CHP, it is our main principle
not to intervene in anyone's life style, and not to question anyone
because of his or her faith or ethnic identity. Our members of
parliament will voice some of the problems they reported in
Parliament. There are also problems that stem from the language that
is used, which can be seen within the context of hate speech.
Intellectuals and people who carry the love of humanity in their heart
should display sensitivity towards all these problems.'
Perinçek case
Regarding the upcoming hearing of the Perinçek case, KılıçdaroÄ?lu said
the following: `We do not find it right that Mr. Perinçek is being
tried for a thought he expressed. We must stand united for freedom of
thought. All the modern world should.'
`Any application for parliamentary candidacy will be considered'
To a question regarding whether the CHP would nominate minority
members in the upcoming parliamentary elections, KılıçdaroÄ?lu
responded: `We have not made a decision regarding the issue yet. It is
too early to say anything on the basis of certain persons, but if
there is any such application, we will of course take it into
consideration.'
To a further question regarding the election results in Greece,
KılıçdaroÄ?lu responded: `It is of course great that a political party
with which we share the same worldview has succeeded in Greece.'
