Turkey’s highest court turned down on Thursday the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party’s (HDP) request to postpone until the crucial elections in May court proceedings of a case seeking its disbandment, in a move further complicating the country’s tangled electoral outlook.
The request to reschedule the court proceedings until after the presidential and parliamentary elections expected to be held on May 14 was unanimously rejected by the Constitutional Court, the state broadcaster TRT reported.
