Riot Police Storm Turkey's Main Opposition CHP Headquarters
Political unrest exploded in Ankara as Turkish riot police stormed the headquarters of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP). Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse a massive crowd of party supporters gathered outside the gates. The raid was executed to force the installation of a court-appointed administration after an appeals court controversially nullified the party chairperson's recent election.
