    South Carolina Republicans are set to vote in a special primary election for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's seat, with his sister Darline Graham leading in polls despite questions about her loyalty to former President Trump.

    Turkish Parliament to Vote on 'Framework Law' Aiming to Combat Terrorism

    The Turkish Grand National Assembly is set to discuss and vote on the 'Draft Law on Strengthening National Solidarity and Social Harmony', also known as the 'Framework Law', on October 1, 2024. The law, proposed by the ruling AK Party and supported by other parties, aims to suspend investigations and prosecutions for certain crimes committed by members of the PKK/KCK if they lay down their arms and surrender. The process began with President Erdoğan's call to 'strengthen the internal front' and has been supported by MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli. The law is expected to pass with broad political support and could significantly impact Turkey's struggle against terrorism.
