Turkish body to discuss extending emergency

None

ISTANBUL -- Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says the country's top security advisory body will discuss on Monday whether to further extend a state of emergency that was declared after last year's failed coup.

 

Erdogan also said he would approve "without any hesitation" any legislation that would be passed in parliament to reinstate the death penalty.
