The people of Turkey demand reinstating the death penalty, the country’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
Erdogan said that if the Turkish parliament decides to restore the death penalty, no one has the right to criticize this, since decisions of the parliament reflect the will of people, Trend reports.
Earlier, Turkey’s Minister for the EU Affairs Omer Celik said that reinstating the death penalty in Turkey wasn’t put up for consideration by the country’s parliament.
Turkey cancelled the death penalty in 2001. Reinstating the death penalty was discussed after the military coup attempt in Turkey.
