AKP stymies parliamentary inquiry into corruption
The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), which has a majority in the Turkish parliament, on March 19 rejected the opposition’s request to discuss the details of the indictments targeting four former cabinet ministers in a corruption case. The hours-long extraordinary session of parliament, which could have opened the way for the four to stand trial, instead ended with an acknowledgment of the AKP’s request to form an investigative commission into the allegations at a time to be determined later.
