Turkish Nationalist Movement Party leader Devlet Bahceli considers
groundless charges that he is to blame for incident of Kurdish
Democratic Society Party member being peppered with stones.

According to Samanyolu website, he expressed confidence that Nov. 22
occurring in Izmir city is a well-staged action and let Kurds learn
themselves whose game they are in.

As to regular trials initiated by Turkish Prime Minister against
him, Bahceli said it is better for Premier "to start taking away my
parliamentarian paycheck."

The motorcade of Kurdish Democratic Party leader was showered with
stones. The protestors carried "Fallen do not die" and "Motherland
is undividable" banners. Kurds accused Bahceli of the incident. The
latter repeatedly stated that Turkish authorities split the country
by settling Kurdish issue.

Premier considered that these accusations go beyond the bounds of
decency and sued him. Bahceli is known for his anti-Armenian rhetoric,
namely he was interested whether Armenian-Turkish commission will
decide on historical identity of Mount Ararat and whether Eastern
Turkey is Western Armenia.
