Erdoğan says government not involved in CHP dispute

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on June 1 that his government would not become involved in internal disputes within the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), while warning against efforts to stir unrest in the streets.

“The tensions within the main opposition party do not concern us... We are not part of these political and legal disputes, we have not been, and we will not be,” Erdoğan said after a cabinet meeting in Ankara, referring to the debate over a “absolute nullity” ruling regarding the CHP’s 2023 convention.

Erdoğan said his government remained focused on what he described as building the “Century of Türkiye” vision and improving the country’s future rather than engaging in political polemics.

The president issued a warning against protests or actions that could lead to public disorder, saying authorities would not tolerate attempts to create unrest.
