7. In a statement on his social media account, CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu described the US and Israel's attacks on Iran as a “bloody partnership” and said that any threat to Turkey's unitary structure would set the entire region and Europe on fire.
Kılıçdaroğlu said, “This fight is a fight for dignity and freedom. It is like nothing else.”.
The bloody partnership of America and Israel, based on global capital, which continues its existence by destroying human life and the sovereignty rights of nations, declared its true intentions to the whole world by declaring war on Iran while diplomatic talks were still ongoing.
Our love for our homeland and our nation...

Kılıçdaroğlu used the following expressions in his statement:
“The bloody partnership of America and Israel, based on global capital, which continues its existence by destroying human life and the sovereignty rights of nations, has declared its true intentions to the whole world by declaring war on Iran while diplomatic talks are still ongoing.
Democracy is the name of our oath of love for our homeland and loyalty to our nation.
But one that does not recognize international law,
Fighting against this understanding that targets the unitary structures of states and the sovereignty rights of nations is also a requirement of our character that comes from Kuvâ-yi Milliye.
Their 100-year old plans, which not only targeted our sovereignty, but also aimed to dynamite our brotherhood, seize our resources and enslave our youth to their own capital, and which would bring us nothing but destruction, were thwarted by our epic War of Independence.
Let us remind the imperialists again:
If we feel that the unitary structure of the Republic of Turkey and the sovereign rights of the Turkish Nation are jeopardized;
A defenseless European Union is in danger!
The Balkan States are in danger!
The Mediterranean is in danger!
If the Greek Cypriot administration in Cyprus continues to rely on Israel and pursue hostile policies, the same danger applies to them.
Brothers and sisters,
They know us and we know them very well.
They remember us.
And we will remember two things:
1-) Syrian citizens who said, “We became enemies in Damascus and brothers in Turkish garbage dumps.”.
2-) Afghans who died so that they could board American planes leaving Kabul after the American invasion of Afghanistan.
We will not give way to Netanyahu's plans to provoke Iran and the peoples of the region and turn brother against brother.
Brothers and sisters,
This is a fight for dignity and freedom.
It's like nothing else.”
