parliament on Tuesday is to debate a motion launched by the
opposition Motherland Party (ANAP) against Interior Minister
Abdulkadir Aksu.
In its motion, ANAP claimed that the minister had failed in his
duties to curb the rising incidence of criminal incidents.
The administration of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP)
has called on all ministers and party deputies to be present at the
parliamentary session.
Turkey’s police force, which is under the control of the Interior
Ministry, has been heavily criticised for a series of incidents in
the aftermath of the murder of Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant
Dink.
