In a key ruling, the Constitutional Court has refused to hear individual complaints filed for the lowering of the 10 percent parliamentary threshold in the Turkish election system.

A parliamentary commission has decided to destroy the primary evidence in a corruption probe against four ex-ministers, angering opposition members on the commission.
