The pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party is facing possible court-ordered dissolution ahead of elections in May. The court has refused to postpone the decision until after the vote.
Turkey’s Constitutional Court on Thursday rejected a call by the second-largest opposition party, the HDP, to postpone a decision to shut down the party until after the Turkish general elections, now set for May. Critics say the decision adds to concerns that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is using the judiciary to undermine the opposition ahead of the poll. For VOA, Dorian Jones reports from Istanbul.
