Erdoğan Orders 'Framework Law' Passed Before Parliament Break

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has reportedly ordered the immediate passage of a so-called "framework law" before parliament begins its summer recess on July 16. The law is said to create the legal basis for a "resolution process" in Turkey. The order was leaked from a weekend camp organized by the ruling AK Party in Sapanca. The framework law is expected to be pushed through directly, without the usual delays of parliamentary debate.
