Former Turkish PM Davutoglu blames Erdogan for hostage operation on PKK

Turkey Future Party Leader and former PM Ahmet Davutoglu criticized President Tayyip Erdogan for making serious mistakes in the Gara operation, during which 13 Turkish citizens were killed as they were held hostage by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

A strike operation and a hostage rescue operation were mixed, Davutoglu told YetkinReport in an interview, adding that the murdered 13 citizens paid the price.

The first issue that Erdogan should raise when U.S. President Joe Biden calls him should be the U.S.’s conditional condemnation on the killings.

The U.S. State Department had said in its initial statement that it condemned the killings “if reports are confirmed that the PKK did it.”

Davutoglu said Turkey-U.S. relations are very fragile and Erdogan is directly targeting Biden with an intention to force him to call him.

He also harshly criticized Erdogan for his reform and the new constitution, claiming that he is “captive to the status quo” and cannot make reforms.

Davutoglu said the “the freedom of assembly can only be practiced at AKP congresses in Turkey.”
