Tens of thousands of opposition supporters protested in Ankara, demanding early elections and the defense of democracy.

A demonstration took place on Sunday in Ankara, organized by the main opposition party in Turkey, CHP, in the context of a possible dismissal of its leadership due to procedural irregularities. The leader of CHP, Ozgur Ozel, accused the government of undermining democracy and called for early elections, considering the accusations against the party as slander. The Turkish government denies any political motivations, while dozens of CHP members are in preventive detention, including the mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu, causing massive protests in the past.
