Turkish PM to propose extending emergency rule by three months

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım said on Friday that he would propose extending emergency rule by another three months.

The emergency rule was imposed soon after an attempted coup on July 15 last year, and is due to expire next week.

Yıldırım made the comments at a briefing with media representatives in the capital Ankara ahead of official commemorations of the coup anniversary on Saturday.
