Will Turkey’s Constitutional Court make a ruling that could upend the political balance in the country and bring about the end of the 12-year rule of the Justice and Development Party (AKP)?
A short background is in order: Muharrem Sarikaya of Haberturk added some credence to the rumors in political circles when he spoke to Hasim Kilic, the president of the Constitutional Court. Kilic told Sarikaya that the court is about to reach a decision on the appeal by the pro-Kurdish People's Democracy Party (HDP) to nullify the 10% election threshold. Kilic’s remark was interpreted as meaning that the pending decision could affect the general elections in June 2015.
