ANKARA - A former Turkish prime minister and close ally of President Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday harshly criticized the ruling AK Party after a stinging electoral defeat in Istanbul last week that was widely seen as ominous for Erdogan at national level.
Ahmet Davutoglu, who served as prime minister between 2014 and 2016 before falling out with Erdogan, has criticized the president and his policies before. “If we lose an election that we first lost by 13,000 votes again by 800,000 votes, as was the case in Istanbul, the one responsible for this is not a prime minister who delivered a clear parliamentary majority , but rather those who have caused a serious slide in rhetoric, actions, morals and politics.”
“We are facing economic problems as we did in 2008. Then, there were people at the helm of the economy who understood economy. There was vision,” Davutoglu said.
