Speaking at his party's congress in the southeastern province of Kahramanmaras, Erdogan said that the AKP has never tolerated corruption, and that it would continue to weed out anyone involved in corruption. "Have those trying to find corruption in our party done the same with their own parties?" he asked. Touching on recent deadly terrorist attacks, Erdogan said the attacks cannot harm Turkey's integrity and unity. In related news, Erdogan is set to visit Diyarbakir today.
