TUSIAD calls case to close AKP "unacceptable"

The Turkish Industrialists' and Businessmen's Association (TUSIAD) yesterday denounced a new prosecutor's case seeking the closure of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). "It is unacceptable for Turkish democracy that political parties which are indispensable to democratic life come to face demands for closure, regardless of the size of their public mandate," said a TUSIAD statement.
