Prime Minister Erdoğan replied to CHP (Republican People’s Party) Chairman: “Do you expect us to raise an atheist generation?”
 
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan gave a speech in his Party’s headquarters during the Meeting of Expended Province Chairmen.
 
Besides the topics in his agenda, Erdoğan responded to the CHP Chairman’s criticism towards himself. Erdoğan said: “Do you expect us to raise an atheist generation?”
 
“It’s our aim to raise a religious generation”
 
“He is accusing me of dividing the country over religion; I still support what I said. I said that ‘it’s our aim to raise a religious generation”. I keep my opinion. Maybe it’s not your aim. Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu, do you expect us to raise an atheist generation? We are seeking for a conservative democrat generation.
 
“Who cares whether Paul Auster comes or not”

President Erdoğan addressed Paul Auster who declared that he will not visit Turkey due to the arrested writers and journalists and said: “Who cares whether Paul Auster comes or not.”
 
“Arrested people presented as journalists in Turkey are mostly not journalists. They are guilty of many things from attacking the police to carrying weapons. An American writer, Paul Auster, in an interview said “I will not visit Turkey due to the arrested writers and journalists.” Come on, who cares whether you come or not.
 
This mister is not visiting Turkey but his last visit was to Israel. Hasn’t Paul Auster ever given a thought to criticizing Israel’s cruelty? Maybe Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and Paul Auster make a visit to Israel together in the forthcoming days.”
