The amendments were passed as the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government searches for a solution to unrest in the southeast after the PKK cancelled a 14-month ceasefire in June and resumed a 26-year insurgency that has so far left 40,000 dead.
Amandamni su usvojeni u trenutku dok vlada Stranke pravde i razvitka (AKP) traga za rješenjem za nemire na jugoistoku zemlje nakon što je PKK prekinula 14-mjesečno primirje u lipnju i nastavila 26-godišnju pobunu koja je do sada odnijela 40.000 života.
