Turkish Police Storm Opposition Party Headquarters as Leadership Dispute Turns Violent Turkish police stormed the headquarters of the main opposition party, the Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi (CHP), in a move that highlights the government's willingness to use force to maintain its grip on power.
The raid came after an appeals court nullified Ozgur Ozel's election as CHP chairman, sparking a leadership dispute that has turned violent.
The dispute began when an appeals court ruled that dismissed Ozel's election and ordered his predecessor, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, to take over.
