Turkish Lawmakers Give Erdogan Sweeping New Powers After Failed Coup? Well, Well , Well it look like the Same thing happen here: Did Not Senator Palpatine Claim That The Jedi, Try To Stage A Failed Coup? And Then Was Given Sweeping Emergency Powers Bey The Galactic Senate. To Handle The Separatist Crisis

 Turkish lawmakers declared a three-month state of emergency Thursday, overwhelmingly approving President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's request for sweeping new powers to expand a government crackdown after last week's attempt military coup.

Parliament voted 346-115 to approve the national state of emergency, which will give Erdogan the authority to extend detention times for suspects and issue decrees that have the force of law without parliamentary approval, among other powers.

Erdogan, who had been accused of autocratic conduct even before this week's crackdown on alleged opponents, says the state of emergency will counter threats to Turkish democracy.
