Fake Turkish opposition leaflets distributed in Ankara

Fake leaflets purporting to have been printed on behalf of opposition political parties have begun appearing in Ankara two days in advance of a crucial snap election, independent news site T24 said .

The counterfeit Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) leaflets, purporting to have been issued by the party’s Ankara youth branch, call for the south of Turkey to be made into a Kurdish state.

The fake leaflets published in the name of the youth branch of the Republican People’s Party (CHP) call for the headscarf to be banned altogether, a reference to the party’s long-abandoned former policy of not allowing headscarved women in universities or to work in the public sector.
