Turkey closing second-largest opposition party?

Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton strongly recommends that if Erdogan corrupts the electoral process Turkey should be removed from NATO

Newsroom January 18 05:58

Turkey’s Constitutional Court is currently in the process of deciding whether to close the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), which has 56 Members of Parliament, many of whom are already incarcerated.

If closed, the HDP will be the eighth pro-Kurdish party in Turkey to be removed from the legislative process.

Former U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton strongly recommends that if President Recep Tayyip Erdogan or his AKP Party corrupt the electoral process in the upcoming elections — on the heels of other malign actions — Turkey should be removed from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), based on “the international law principle of rebus sic stantibus – ‘as things now stand’… Mr. Erdogan hasn’t been behaving like an ally.”

This verdict came just days before the funds were due to be wired to the party’s bank account.
