Turkish police used tear gas while attempting to enter the headquarters of the country’s main opposition party in Ankara, triggering tense clashes and panic in the area.
Security forces moved in after a disputed legal decision related to the party leadership, as supporters gathered in large numbers and resisted the entry. The situation quickly escalated, with officers deploying tear gas to break the crowd and push forward the operation.
Opposition figures have strongly condemned the action, calling it an attack on democratic space, while authorities maintain it is part of a lawful process.
The incident has sparked nationwide political tension and raised fresh concerns over growing instability in Turkey’s opposition politics.
