Turkish police fire teargas to break up protest after opposition leader ousted | Turkey

Riot police in Turkey used tear gas and water cannons to disperse a rally organized by ousted opposition leader Özgür Özel. The court ruling that overturned the 2023 CHP primary election, which elected Özel, has led to chaos within the party. Kemal Kıliçdaroğlu, who was ordered back as CHP leader, faced calls for immediate party congress from Özgür Özel. President Özgür believes this is a move by President Erdoğan to prevent the CHP's rise in popularity and ultimately stop them from defeating him.
