TURKEY-POLITICS-COUP-INVERTIGATION

Sezgin Tanrikulu, Istanbul MP from the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) speaks on July 4, 2017 during an interview in Istanbul. Just before midnight on the night of 15-16 July 2016, a tear-stained anchorwoman, clearly under duress, appeared on Turkish state television to announce the purported seizure of power by the army. Yet questions remain over the timeline of the events on July 15, with Turkey's opposition looking for answers with increased stridency. In October, a parliamentary committee made up of lawmakers from political parties represented in the parliament started investigating the failed coup. The opposition demanded both Fidan and Akar be called to appear. But the calls were rejected by the ruling party. "We are not prosecutors, nor judges. We will not convict anyone. We only wanted to receive a response to our questions," Sezgin Tanrikulu, MP from the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), told AFP. / AFP PHOTO / YASIN AKGUL (Photo credit should read YASIN AKGUL/AFP via Getty Images)
