"Turkish PM Erdogan: �The AKP Doesn't Embrace Extremist Views�
Addressing the first regular congress of his ruling Justice and Development Party�s (AKP) Istanbul Women�s Branches over the weekend, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan took the opportunity to reiterate his criticism of certain recent media reports unfavorable to the AKP. Accusing the media groups responsible of deliberately distorting the facts, Erdogan underscored that his party would continue to protect the Turkish people�s interests no matter what these groups say. Stating that no one could call his party either extreme leftist or extreme rightist, as it is strongly committed to serve the interests of the entire nation rather than specific groups, Erdogan also responded to allegations that the AKP�s party program and actions follow an extremist agenda. �We�re serving our nation,� the premier stressed. �We�re trying to establish a sound, strong rule of law in our country."
