The government said that the state of emergency will be extended again.. Deputy Prime Minister and government spokesman Bekir Bozdag said: “The state of emergency will be extended once more”. He did not specify a duration, but past extensions have been done for three months. To get the parliament approval for the state of emergency the government must see serious indications of widespread violence that could interfere with Turkey’s democratic environment or its citizens’ basic rights and freedoms as set by the constitution. Turkey declared the state of emergency for the first time on July 20, after a deadly coup attempt by FETO. During the last year, Turkey police had arrested thousands of people suspected of involvement in the coup.
