(3 years ago)Kemal Kilicdaroglu has talked about refugee and terrorism issues, addressing nationalist voters before the second round of Turkey's presidential elections.

I am not sitting at the table with terrorist organisations and I will never do it. I will return all refugees as soon as I take power,” said the opposition coalition candidate in Ankara during his speech.
In recent months, Kilicdaroglu said that in the event of victory, he will take care of refugee repatriation during his first two years in Turkey's leadership.
His words, in an extremely harsh tone, seem to address 2.8 million voters who in the first round of elections voted for ultra-nationalist Sinan Ogan, who received 5.2% of the vote.
According to the Turkish press, Sinan Ogan has met yesterday with one of the six leaders of the opposition coalition and is likely to meet with Kemal Kilicdaroglu.
Ogan is expected to give a lead to vote on one or another candidate in the presidential elections, but it is not sure that his directive will be implemented massively by his voters.
The ultra-nationalist election and candidate campaign focused on the need to expel the 4 million refugees on Turkish soil, 90% of which are Syrian refugees.
Kemal Kilicdaroglu, who is promising to return Syrian refugees, today accused the outgoing president of bringing 10 million refugees to the country.
If they stay in power, there will be 10 million more refugees. There will be plunder. Cities will be run by Mafia and drug dealers. Childicides will be added”, he said today.
