"Court case on ruling party / Turkish nail-biter
By Zvi Bar'el
Will Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan return to the balcony or has the lightbulb gone out? This is the question that Turkey's constitutional court will decide on in the next few days. If a majority of seven of 11 justices accepts the charges against the ruling AK Party, the party will be closed and its symbol - a glowing lightbulb - will go out. If the court rejects the charges, Erdogan will be able to return to the party headquarters balcony where he spoke on July 22 last year after a sweeping victory in parliamentary elections, and again promise that his party will stick to constitutional values."
