THEY HAVE BECOME DEPUTIES
The oath-taking crisis, which has been troubling Turkey since the day after elections, has been finally solved. Republican People's Party (CHP) deputies took oath at the parliament yesterday. CHP deputies, who earlier rejected to take oath in an effort to protest court rulings not releasing jailed deputies Mehmet Haberal and Mustafa Balbay, have put an end to their boycott as they reached a consensus with Justice & Development (AK) Party. The declaration signed by the two parties said that parliament was the only address for the settlement of problems and people who had been elected with votes of the nation should be present at the parliament.
