Erdogan Says Armenians and Journalists are Representatives of Sedition


From Hurriyet:
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an has continued his salvoes against a number of his critics including journalists, Armenians and members of the LGBTI community ahead of the June 7 general elections, accusing them of supporting the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP). 
“Their biggest ally is Do?an Media. The Armenian lobby, homosexuals and those who believe in ‘Alevism without Ali’ – all these representatives of sedition are [the HDP’s] benefactors,” 
Erdogan said during an address to citizens in the eastern province of Bingöl on June 3. Speculation over whether the HDP, which focuses on the Kurdish issue, will be able to pass the 10 percent national election threshold is the key question that will determine how many seats the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) wins in parliament.
