Turkey’s deputy prime minister says his country will suspend the European Human Rights Convention as it prepares to implement the country’s new state of emergency after a failed coup.
Parliament is set to approve the three-month state of emergency on Thursday, after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced it a day earlier.
Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus says Turkey will suspend the human rights convention in line with an article contained within the agreement allowing for it in time of emergencies.
