AKP spokesman Omer Çelik referred to the U.S. presidential candidate's comments in a clip taken from an episode of FX’s The Weekly, as an intervention on Turkish politics.
"We have paid the price for our democracy many times, we do not intend to open our democracy to any foreign intervention, to allow those who want to weaken our democracy with any foreign intervention, and we already have the necessary immunity against such interventions," Çelik said on Twitter on Sunday.
"Joe Biden's statements are a product of a political pro-coup mindset," he said.
In footage from The Weekly, a documentary series covering the development of iconic headlines by the New York Times, Biden spoke of his vision for U.S. relations with Erdogan, saying he would support the Turkish opposition to defeat Turkey's strongman in elections if he became president.
He also called Erdogan an "autocrat" and criticised his domestic and foreign policies.
Biden, especially during Barack Obama’s second term as president, engaged closely with the Turkish opposition, including meeting with critical journalists and activists during visits to Istanbul, prompting the AKP to accuse him of supporting terrorists.
On Sunday, Turkey Presidential Spokesman Ibrahim Kalin reacted to Biden's remarks, saying “the days of ordering Turkey around are over” and he would “pay the price” for continuing to do so.
"The analysis of Turkey by @JoeBiden is based on pure ignorance, arrogance and hypocrisy,'' Kalın said on Twitter.
Later on Sunday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Çavuşoglu said Biden's remarks on Turkey were "ignorant'' and "overstepped the limit,'' Diken news site reported.
Çavuşoglu also said Biden made many mistakes in his speech, including mentioning F-15s instead of F-35s, T24 new site reported, as well as using the term "elements of the the government" in his speech.
"We can support those elements in the Turkish leadership" Biden said, referring to why the United States' need to engage with the Turkish opposition.
Therefore, it was interpreted by "Turkish leadership", Biden meant to say in opposition Turkish leadership, as opposed to the Kurdish leadership.
"I think think during the years of Obama, they were engaging with terrorists, (leading him to use the term "elements," Çavuşoglu said.
Official statements from Ankara and Turkish media mostly use the term "elements" to describe members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
