You're reading: Turkey’s top court annuls parts of reform package

ANKARA, July 7 (Reuters) - Turkey's top court rejected an appeal by the opposition to annul the whole of a government-backed reform package overhauling the constitution, but annulled some key parts of the package.

The court’s chairman Hasim Kilic told a news conference the reform charter, barring annulled parts, would go to a referendum as planned. The government says the reform will deepen democracy and help meet requirements for Turkey to join the European Union.
