Turkey Declares 3 Months State Of Emergency by john107: 11:18am On Jul 21, 2016 |
Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan announced the nation is imposing a
three-month state of emergency in the aftermath
of last week's bloody coup attempt.
Erdogan met Wednesday with his national
security council and council of ministers, the
latter of which approved the state of emergency
recommendation. "The purpose of the declaration of the state of emergency is, in fact, to be able to take the most efficient steps in order to remove this threat as soon as possible, which is a threat to democracy, to the rule of law and to the rights and freedoms of the citizens in our country," Erdogan said, according to a government translation. Erdogan, speaking to a national television audience, said the state of emergency was not a threat to democracy. Governors will have expanded powers and the army will be under the command and control of the governors, the President said. http://edition.cnn.com/2016/07/20/europe/turkey-failed-coup-attempt/index.html |
