Republican People’s Party (CHP) head Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has said, “The CHP will save Turkey from terrorism,” during his party’s election rally in the northeastern province of Ardahan.

“We will save Turkey from terror. I promise to bring wealth and peace to this country,” Kılıçdaroğlu said during a rally held at a stadium in Ardahan on Oct. 26, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported.

“They’ve not succeeded [in fighting terrorism] for 13 years. I’ll solve this in four years,” said Kılıçdaroğlu, referring to the 13-year-rule of the Justice and Development Party (AKP).

Kılıçdaroğlu said Turkey would have to go to the polls again because of the AKP’s obsession with power.

Commenting on the school practices of bussing students to schools kilometers away, Kılıçdaroğlu said the CHP, when in rule, would halt the practice, which is done particularly in Turkey’s east and southeast.

“Dear mothers, you send your children to schools kilometers away [as part of the transportation-based school practice]. We will remove that practice. Distribution of students and teachers across the country will be homogenized,” he added.

Kılıçdaroğlu said the CHP had never done politics on religious and ethnic grounds.

“Whoever making politics with religion are those who defame Islam,” Kılıçdaroğlu added.
