ANKARA (Hurriyet Daily News)””Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has reprimanded both the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) and the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) for allegedly siding with other countries whenever their relations with the government of Turkey deteriorate.

“The HDP co-chair’s statement delivered in Russia suggesting that ”˜Turkey shooting down the Russian airplane was wrong,’ was exactly scandalous and exactly treason. During a process when Russian airplanes have been bombing innocent Turkmens, innocent Arabs and innocent Kurds in Azaz, Aleppo, Idlib and Bayirbucak, running to Russia and declaring support is openly betraying the nation. This is naked carelessness,”
