MHP urges to extend state of emergency in Turkey

The Turkish Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) has urged to extend the state of emergency in the country, Turkish media reported.

The MHP explains this by the fact that there is still danger in Turkey related to the Gulen movement, as well as the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced his intention to consider lifting the state of emergency in case of his victory in the upcoming early presidential election.

The state of emergency was introduced in Turkey after the military coup attempt in 2016.
