CHP leader’s fabricated criticism of Erdoğan backfires
Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu made a gaffe in Tuesday's parliamentary group meeting as he tried to criticize President Erdoğan by using a fabricated photo.According to Hürriyet daily's article, Erdoğan is seen distributing "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" book to children in Somali in the fabricated photo. Using only the photo as evidence, Kılıçdaroğlu criticized Erdoğan by saying "there are enough thieves in Turkey."However, in the original photo, Erdoğan is seen distributing a coloring book with a different title.The difference among two photos quickly spread on social media circles.
