/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Next week, Turkey's Constitutional Court will begin
hearing the case of banning the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party
(CDP), requiring endorsement of 7 of 11 judges. The prosecution calls
to ban the party since it is "focused on activities that could lead to
the collapse of the state." Prosecutors allege that CDP had direct
links with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and violated
the law "On political parties". The prosecution also calls to forbid
about 220 party members, including party leadership, being engaged in
political activity, Hurriyet Daily News wrote.
