Turkish opposition offers to launch legal proceedings against PM Erdogan
The Turkish leading opposition People's Party has introduced to the Grand National Assembly a proposal to launch legal proceedings against Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Interior Minister Abdulkadir Aksu. Bringing in the facts of slaying of Hrant Dink and priest Andrea Santoro, the party accuses the top officials of non-fulfillment of their duties, reports RFE/RL.

On Tuesday the Turkish parliament rejected Vatan party's demand for Aksu's resignation.
