The Workers' Party of Turkey (TIP) has filed an application with the Constitutional Court (AYM) requesting that the revocation of the parliamentary membership of TIP MP Can Atalay—who was convicted in the Gezi Park trial and whose parliamentary status was stripped after a Supreme Court of Appeals ruling was read in Parliament—be declared null and void.
