Turkish Airlines targets top spot after winning traffic from Gulf rivals Turkey's main opposition party, the CHP, faces a standoff outside its headquarters ANKARA -- Members of Turkey’s main opposition party were locked in a standoff Sunday outside the party headquarters with most members refusing entry to the new court-ordered leadership. The standoff at the Republican People’s Party, or CHP, has been escalating since Thursday, when an appeals court nullified the November 2023 party congress, where Ozgur Ozel was elected to replace then-chair Kemal Kilicdaroglu. The ruling suspends Ozel and members of the party’s executive board and orders them to be replaced by Kilicdaroglu and others who held party posts before the November 2023 congress.
