Turkish Court Overturns Part of Law on Judiciary
Turkey’s highest court overturned the provision of a new law that gave the government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan greater control over the judiciary, a law that critics said harmed the country’s separation of powers and was part of a broader effort on the part of Mr. Erdogan to push back against a corruption investigation.
“The Constitutional Court proves that there is still a way out of autocracy,”
"I think the society, being inside such a pressure cooker, that the pressure gets so high from time to time that you need a security valve,”
The judicial law was regarded as Mr. Erdogan’s most brazen power grab, legal experts say, because it gave control of the council that appoints prosecutors and judges in Turkey to the government.
Either you will be a state governed by the rule of law and capital will come with confidence
