Turkey’s Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) is holding its 10th congress today, Nov 4 in Ankara with leader Devlet Bahçeli fighting to hold onto his chair against nine other candidates, Hürriyet Daily News reported.

Taking the floor, Bahçeli denounced the “blood-sucking vampires” arrayed against Turkey. "If the Nationalist Movement exists, solutions are not exhausted yet. If there is an Ülkücü [Idealist] Movement, nothing has ended yet. We're here against the co-chairman [Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan] of the Greater Middle Eastern Project [an alleged U.S. plot to control the region], his friends in betrayal, blood-sucking vampires, and we're ready to do all we can for the people," Bahçeli said.

"There is no Kurdish problem; [it is just] a game being played against Turkey,” Bahçeli added.

“The government is planning to release the İmralı butcher [outlawed Kurdish Workers’ Party leader Abdullah Öcalan]. He will first be sent into house arrest and will then be released,” he said.
