“It is an attempt to throw a hand grenade at our party" is uncommon wording for a book review; this evaluation, however, was not written by a literary critic but by a legislator from the Justice and Development Party (AKP) blindly loyal to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The book referred to as “a hand grenade” is the memoir of Ahmet Sever, the spokesman for Erdogan’s predecessor, former President Abdullah Gul.
