Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that his AK Party government will carry out reforms of the justice system together with its nationalist allies.

-We are accelerating implementing judicial reforms- Erdogan said in a speech to AK Party members in parliament. -We will bring other reforms in packages to the parliament...(and) finalise the human rights action plan.- 

He also praised the AKP’s parliamentary alliance with the nationalist MHP, a day after MHP leader Devlet Bahceli dismissed media speculation about rifts with the AKP over the recent government talk of reforms.
