TEHRAN, April 20 - Turkey's parliament approved on Friday a proposal to hold presidential and parliamentary elections on June 24, more than a year ahead of schedule, after President Tayyip Erdogan said they should be held early.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Parliamentarians from the opposition pro-Kurdish HDP party walked out of parliament in protest before the vote.
The remaining deputies all supported the motion.
