Nor are such tactics aimed at nationalists alone; almost exactly a year before the MHP "cassette earthquake", the head of the Republican People's Party (CHP), Deniz Baykal, was targeted in a similar fashion and forced to step down.
Niti je takva taktika usmjerena samo na nacionaliste; skoro točno godinu dana prije MHP-ova "videopotresa", čelnik Republikanske narodne stranke (CHP) Deniz Baykal našao se na meti na sličan način i bio je prisiljen podnijeti ostavku.
