Turkish riot police enter opposition headquarters to evict ousted leaders 

​Turkish ​riot police ‌fired tear gas ​and broke through the ‌gates of the main opposition party's headquarters to evict its ‌ousted leadership on Sunday, ‌a Reuters witness said.

An appeals court on Thursday ousted Republican ⁠People's Party (CHP) ​leader ⁠Ozgur Ozel, annulling the results ⁠of the CHP congress where ​he was elected in 2023, ⁠citing irregularities.

The court reinstated ⁠in ​his place former CHP chairman Kemal Kilicdaroglu, who ⁠lost to President Tayyip Erdogan ⁠in ⁠a national election that year.
