DISCLOSE THOSE NAMES
Speaking at his party's rally in central Anatolian Konya province, Republican People's Party (CHP) chairperson Kemal Kilicdaroglu replied to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's remarks calling him to disclose the name of the minister who had allegedly sent an e-mail (to Student Selection & Placement Center (OSYM)). Kilicdaroglu said Erdogan had himself confessed that he had not nominated several ministers and deputies as candidates for the upcoming elections, as they had been involved in acts of corruption. 
"Erdogan made this unbelievable confession in Luleburgaz. Without making any comments, I would like to address him with his own words: If you have any pride, disclose the names of these ministers and deputies," Kilicdaroglu said.

Prime Minister Erdogan called CHP leader Kilicdaroglu a "walking lie" due to the chairman's claims that a minister had asked the Student Selection & Placement Center (OSYM) to make a favor for his relative. Erdogan said the chief prosecutor's office in charge of the university exam investigation had taken a verdict of non-prosecution. "Are you ashamed now? Believe me, these people do not feel any shame," the prime minister said.
