Turkey anti-emergency protests draw government criticism

's main opposition party have staged sit-in demonstrations across the country to protest against the state of emergency, a move criticised by the government.

The demonstrations held on Monday, reportedly in all of Turkey's 81 provinces, were organised as the government prepares this week to extend the state of emergency for the seventh time.

Turkey declared the state of emergency on July 20, 2016, and has extended it regularly after a coup attempt in July 2016.

Bekir Bozdag, the government spokesperson, criticised the protests, blaming the Republican People's Party (CHP) of using the methods of "terrorists" and not doing any work.

Bozdag said that for the CHP to be more successful than the ruling Justice and Development Party, it should start working, or running, instead of sitting down.

"They cannot stop the Justice and Development Party by sitting in. We will move on. My advice to them: Now is not the time to sit, now is time to rise," he said.
