"Turkey's opposition parties accuse AKP government of tapping
Turkey's main opposition party CHP and the nationalist MHP raised their concerns over a tapping incident that local newspapers termed 'Turkish Watergate'. The opposition parties concerns were voiced after an Islamist newspaper published Tuesday, word-for-word, a conversation between CHP's number two person and a governor. The opposition leaders harshly criticized the government for 'hurting democratic values'. The CHP leader slammed the government and said the security forces tapped party offices, as the government vowed to investigate the claims. AKP Deputy Dengir Mir Mehmet Firat accused the CHP of casting aspersions over the ruling AKP, calling attention to the timing of the tapping claim as dark cloud over the AKP’s achievements, at a news conference in Ankara late on Wednesday. The prosecutor's office launched an investigation regarding the claims."
