Bahceli: "The repercussion of the AKP closure case will be felt across Turkey"

A new case seeking the ruling Justice and Development Party's (AKP) closure has deeply shaken Turkish politics, said Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahceli yesterday. Speaking to his party's group meeting, Bahceli also said that political parties act within the limits set by the Constitution, and if these limits are transgressed, the sanctions are clear. Stating that the Supreme Court of Appeals chief prosecutor filed the closure indictment based on his assessment, Bahceli added that we wouldn't comment on the specifics of the case. "The effects of the case won't just be legal, but will have a deep impact on Turkey," he said.
