Turkey’s Opposition Parties Boycott Parliament Amid Controversy
In a significant political move, Turkey's opposition parties, including the Republican People's Party (CHP) and the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), have boycotted the parliament. This action comes in response to the government's decision to appoint a new speaker, which the opposition claims was done without proper consultation and in violation of parliamentary norms.
The boycott has intensified political tensions in Turkey, with opposition leaders accusing the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) of undermining democracy. The CHP's leader, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, has vowed to continue the boycott until the government addresses their concerns and reinstates a fair parliamentary process.
Internationally, the move has drawn attention to Turkey's political landscape, with some Western nations expressing concern over the state of democracy in the country. The boycott has also sparked protests in major cities like Istanbul and Ankara, where citizens have rallied in support of the opposition's stance.
