/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish Parliament has rejected the inquiry motion
filed by the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) against
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Interior Minister Abdulkadir
Aksu.

In the vote held on Tuesday afternoon, Turkish MPs voted 321-to-118
to reject the motion. Submitted by the CHP vice chairmen to the
parliament presidency on Feb. 15, the motion accused Erdogan and
Aksu of "breach of duty" in a series of events including the murder
of Agos editor Hrant Dink, the attack on the Council of State and the
killing of Catholic priest Andrea Santoro. On Feb. 13, the parliament
rejected the censure motion filed against Interior Minister Abdulkadir
Aksu by center-right Motherland Party (ANAVATAN), reports Cihan News
