Ankara, May 20, 2016 (AFP) — Turkey's parliament on Friday adopted a highly divisive bill that will lift immunity for dozens of pro-Kurdish and other MPs and could see them thrown out of parliament.
The bill was backed by 376 MPs in the 550-seat legislature, which means it will become law directly without being put to a referendum, parliament speaker Ismail Kahraman said.
