Turkish political rivals hold events

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the head of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) will hold competing events today. Mr Erdogan will host a mass rally in Malazgirt, commemorating the anniversary of a 1071 battle. CHP chief Kemal Kilicdaroglu will begin hosting a four-day "Justice Congress" in Canakkale, complaining of judicial abuses in the crackdown that followed the failed coup in July last year.
