RTK Calls for Early 'Parliamentary Elections' on April 26th

The Republican Turkish Party (RTP) has proposed holding early 'parliamentary elections' on April 26th in the occupied territories, requesting an immediate discussion in the 'parliament'. The party president, Sila Usar Incirli, cited the need for a political change, criticizing the delay in the commencement of parliamentary work due to internal procedures of the National Unity Party (NUP). Ms. Incirli referred to a difficult period in the occupied territories due to revelations of irregularities, such as cases of forged degrees and arrests of officials. She believes that resorting to the polls is necessary to overcome the current impasse and requested the clarification of corruption cases.
