"CHP Executive: Imams in Southeast Turkey Instructed the Population to Vote for Muslim Party

Mesut Deger, a member of CHP Executive Board and former Diyarbakir MP claimed that during the election campaign the AKP distributed gold, money and white goods in the (mainly Kurdish) Southeast. He added that the imams in Diyarbakir and the entire region told their congregations that the CHP was a party with no religion; that those who vote for CHP would be considered sinners and infidels; and that everybody should vote for the Muslim party, that is the AKP.
