On Thursday, a top Turkish court suspended funding for the country’s main majority-Kurdish party over alleged ties to “terrorism”. The party was due to receive 539 million lire ($29m) in treasury funding this year, according to Turkish media reports. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also accused the party of being the political wing of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which has been waging a decades-long armed uprising against the Turkish state.
