Paragraph 36
 

The Amendment was adopted with a high constitutional majority against the votes of HDP, the party which is most affected by the amendments. The Delegation was informed that the main opposition party CHP voted for the amendment to avoid any accusation of wishing to protect persons supporting terrorist activities, although it considers the Amendment unconstitutional.
