Criticism in the AKP is now turning towards Erdogan.
Until recently, those who are content with criticizing the people around Erdogan now target Erdogan directly.
One of the most obvious examples of this is the criticisms made by Mehmet Metiner.
Mehmet Metiner, who has always criticized the people around Erdogan and seemed to be with Erdogan, now puts Erdogan on his target board.
See what Mehmet Metiner says on a speech made by the President of the Turkish Historical Society:
"This man is the President of the Turkish Historical Society! Look at his speech at Afyon University. It encourages us to forgive and embrace FETO members who are involved in the coup attempt but regret. Are we going to fight FETÖ with these guys?"
I never believe in the sincerity of the person holding it in that seat.
It all depends on determining the person who made this speech “who keeps that seat”!
Everyone of course sees that this challenge is directly aimed at Erdogan! With this statement, Mehmet Metiner invites Erdoğan to dismiss the person concerned.
From this statement we understand:
If he dismisses the owner of these words, it will be decided that Erdogan is sincere, and if he does not dismiss, he will be open to discussion.
Mehmet Metiner may be trying to squeeze Erdogan into such a corner, it is debatable whether this attitude will be welcomed by Erdogan.
Erdogan, by looking at these words of Metiner, may say, "Our friend has warned us about an important issue," and he can exclude himself well, saying, "Who is he trying to give us reason?"
We will learn by living together what kind of developments will lead such challenges. The only thing we know for now is that the criticism arrows are now starting to target Erdogan.
It seems that those who did not dare criticize Erdogan in the past by accusing his close circle started to target him directly.
Their new tactics should be "hitting Erdogan as if they were defending him".
It can easily be said that the hard times await the AKP.
