Court refuses Erdoğan’s appeal for monetary compensation by main opposition leader

Mesut Hasan BENLİ - ANKARA

A court in Ankara has refused an appeal for payment of compensation to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, citing the political parties’ right to oppose.

Erdoğan previously took Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu to the court for remarks in which he said, “The murderer of 51 people in Reyhanlı is Recep Tayyip Erdoğan” and asked for payment of 1 million Turkish Liras.
