Turkish lawmakers grant Erdogan sweeping new powers
Parliament approved a national state of emergency by 346 to 115 votes giving President Erdogan authority to extend detentions and issue decrees with the force of law without parliament approval. The move comes as authorities crack down after last week’s coup attempt, with mass arrests and widespread dismissals across civil service and education.
