Turkey's political ​opposition dug in on Friday to resist an unprecedented court ruling that ousted its leader and annulled its congress, inflaming a political crisis that critics say aims to further prolong President Tayyip Erdogan's 23-year rule. The CHP condemned the ruling as a "judicial coup" and Ozel vowed to fight it through legal appeals and to personally remain "day and ‌night" in the main opposition party's headquarters in Ankara.
