Away From EU: Erdogan Has His Hands Untied After Davutoglu's Resignation
ANKARA (Sputnik) — The Prosecutor’s Office accuses Kilicdaroglu of inciting people to commit crimes in his remarks about possible constitutional changes in Turkey, according to the newspaper.

Kilicdaroglu said Wednesday that it would not be possible to institute a presidential system in Turkey without spilling blood.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused the CHP leader of betraying the country’s parliament and political system.

Last week, Kilicardoglu said that the resignation of Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was a palace coup organized by Erdogan who wants to consolidate his power by switching the country to presidential system.
