The main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) has been preparing what it claims to be the "world's biggest petition" for jailed journalists and academics in Turkey.

The CHP is set to hold a major rally in Istanbul's Maltepe district on July 9 to mark the end of its "justice march," which started from Ankara, and the petition is being prepared in the rally area.

Justice may be sought by walking on the roads on condition that one should be fair, Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım said on July 8 as he urged the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) head Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu to give up his remarks on the 2016 coup attempt calling it a 'controlled coup.'

A couple of hours after main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu entered the provincial borders of Istanbul on July 7, with 40 kilometers left to go to reach his target, I was having lunch with a diverse group of people.

The Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) announced on July 6 that it will join the "justice rally" to be held by the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) in Istanbul's Maltepe district on July 9.

If anybody is wondering whether the "justice march" in Turkey, which was initiated by the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) to protest the arrest of one of its own lawmakers, is drawing attention in Washington, the coverage by top American newspapers might give some clue. American media jumped on board roughly around the 20th day of the march, which was only a few days ago. 

Injustice in Turkey will "certainly be removed one day," main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) deputy Enis Berberoğlu, who is currently in jail on espionage charges, has said in a message conveyed by a party MP on July 4.

The jailed co-chair of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) has said a march launched by the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) should "unify all opposition groups." 

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday accused Turkey’s main opposition party of siding with terrorism, as a three-week “march for justice” led by its chief neared its ending point of Istanbul.

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the leader of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), has warned of potential provocations against the crowds walking with him in the "justice march" toward Istanbul. 

Following Kılıçdaroğlu's warning, armored vehicles were seen accompanying the march. 

Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, with almost unprecedented political agility, has somehow finally transformed himself into an opposition leader who actually sets the agenda.
