Turkish court charges 51 people detained in anti-terror operations

The report said there are members of pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party, or DTP, among those charged.

 

Turkish police launched an operation to crackdown those with links to the terror organization PKK inside the DTP and in Kurdish non-governmental organizations.

 

The constitutional court is currently deliberating a case demanding the closure of the DTP over its alleged links to the terror organization PKK, which launches cross-border attacks against Turkey from bases in northern Iraq. The party has 21 legislators in Turkey’s 550-seat parliament.

 

The PKK is listed as a terrorist group by Turkey and much of the international community, including the EU and the United States. Â
