Akcener's accusations about the now famous ring in Turkey ended up on the front page of Sozcu newspaper.
Meral Aksener lashed out at Recep Tayyip Erdogan over the collapse of the Turkish economy and referred to an incident from the distant past, namely from 1993 when the Turkish president was running for mayor of Istanbul. Aksener's remarks about the now famous ring in Turkey ended up on the front page of the Sozcu newspaper. A ring, which in 1993 Tayyip Erdogan described as his "sole possession", was used by the opposition in Turkey to launch a fierce attack on the Turkish president for the poverty of the people and his own luxurious life.
Erdogan, then a candidate for mayor of Istanbul, showed the ring in question, saying it was given to him by a lady and that it was his only possession. "A lady sent me this ring with a note: ''Mr. President let this ring be your mainstay, the benchmark of the election. This love and love can be surpassed by the billions of big conglomerates?" Erdogan had said at the time, according to SKAI's correspondent in Turkey Manolis Kostidis.
The President of the opposition "Good Party," Meral Aksener, addressed the woman who then gave her ring to the Turkish president, asking her if she sees what Erdogan is doing now. She accuses him of being unaware of the situation when he encourages young people who don't have ten pounds in their pockets to travel the world, for wearing expensive watches and even for drinking smoothies!
"You who helped with your ring, do you know the situation of the person you gave it to? How is he doing? The one who has your ring, do you know where he is and what he is doing now? He is telling your children to go around the world. Do you hear that? He's telling your children, who don't have £20 in their pockets, to take trips all over the world. Do you hear that? He who has this ring, to the young people who don't have ten pounds, he recommends them to drink coffee with perfume. The man who has your ring on his table drinks smoothies. Do you hear that? The one who has your ring do you know what watch he wears?" said Aksener. Akcener's spikes about the now famous ring in Turkey ended up on the front page of Sozcu newspaper.
