Devlet Bahçeli, leader of Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), labeled 2014 as a downgrade for Turkey, saying the country “has regressed and is trapped in tension while suffering the pain of not being able to see the future.” In his New Year message, the MHP leader said “law in Turkey fell through the floor and justice was silenced.”

2014 was a stage for “corruption,” he said, noting that the past year has “beaten up Turkey more than ever before.”

The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) “exposed its dirty laundry” in 2014, Bahçeli said, accusing the government of lying to cover-up corruption.
