Flee or Resign, Turkey Opposition Tells Erdogan Over Tape
This article is for subscribers only.
Turkey’s opposition urged Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to quit and protests broke out in several cities after the release of an audio tape purportedly of Erdogan discussing how to dispose of hidden funds.
Erdogan said the tape published on YouTube was a fabrication intended to undermine his party before next month’s local elections. Kemal Kilicdaroglu, head of the Republican People’s Party, said Erdogan should step down, and police broke up anti-government demonstrations in Istanbul, Ankara and other cities yesterday.
