The opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) has slammed the German magazine Focus after party leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu disclaimed his interview with the magazine saying it had wrongly quoted him as saying that the lives and properties of tourists were not safe in Turkey.
"In Turkey, there is currently no security guarantee for anyone, neither for life nor property," Kılıçdaroğlu was quoted as saying by the Focus magazine.
In a written statement released by the CHP press office, the main opposition party asked Focus to correct its mistake and said a quotation attributed to Kılıçdaroğlu "didn’t belong to the party leader" on Aug. 6.
"A refutation was sent and the necessary processes were launched," the statement said.
