The Republic of Turkey is not and will not be a tent state. I would like this truth to be well known here: we do not disrespect the will and discretion of the nation in any way. But we will definitely not and cannot allow the terror barons in Qandil to haunt our citizens again under different masks under pressure, to threaten the peace and tranquility of our cities, to give the nation's resources to the terrorists in the mountains, and to make our people experience the pains of the past again. In the face of such attempts, we will not hesitate to do whatever is required by the rule of law and whatever our democracy requires. “We expect all political actors to respect the rule of law.” he said.
