Sport hall on November 19, APA Turkey bureau reports.

Dovlet Bakhchali, the leader of the party accused Justice and
Development Party (JDP) in presence of local and foreign mass media.

being devoted to the significant values of the country and said that
this policy constitutes danger for the unity and equality of Turkey.

to unite around the party and preserve the structure of the country.

Criticizing Rajab Tayyip Erdogan government’s fight policy of against
the terror, NMP leader touched upon the issues of foreign policy.

"Foreign policy of JDP does not even consider the occupation of
Azerbaijani territories by Armenians and tragic drama of one million of
refugees. Instead of it, the government looks for the ways of dialog
with Armenian leaders. At present, Armenia tries to lift embargo,
to open the borders and to make Turkey to recognize the genocide by
the support of West," he said.

The leader also said that they will win in the next elections and
move lifer Abdulla Ojalan, the leader of PKK to the F jail. Dovlet

and invited all of them to join NMP.

After the leaders’ speeches, the authoritative bodies of the party made
their reports. Dovlet Bakhchali was elected to the post again getting
1127 votes of 1183 representatives. Umit Ozdag was removed from the
party with the decision of the court because of illegal membership.

Nearly 30 000 men watched the congress of the party. Jemil Hassanli
