ANKARA - Former Turkish deputy prime minister Ali Babacan warned on Tuesday of the dangers of “one man rule” and said he hoped to have formed a new political party by the end of the year to challenge President Tayyip Erdogan’s ruling AK Party
Babacan resigned from the AK Party in July, citing “deep differences”. A founding member of the Islamist-rooted AKP, which has ruled Turkey since 2002, he served as economy and then foreign minister before becoming deputy prime minister, a role he held from 2009 to 2015. Erdogan also assumed new powers under a constitutional overhaul at the expense of parliament and the government.
“There were important principles and values during the foundation of the AK Party, but there has been a significant departure from these principles. This has become a national issue, and we felt a serious responsibility toward our country.”
