Concerning recent allegations that main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) Secretary-General Onder Sav was bugged by security forces, Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahceli yesterday urged the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) government to back a parliamentary investigation on the matter. In a written statement, calling the allegations as a scandal, Bahceli said that bugging of constitutional organs and political parties was threatening parliamentary regime and future of the state ruled by laws. "AKP is intending to establish a dictatorship of fear," said the MHP leader. Stressing that a parliamentary investigation should be launched, Bahceli asked the AKP to back this proposal. "It will be a test of sincerity for the AKP," he added.
