President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Tuesday that only "a few obstacles" remain before reaching the "bright future we call the Century of Türkiye," as the nation celebrated its Republic's 101st anniversary.

Türkiye's parliament is set to discuss an omnibus bill on judiciary this week in plenary sessions, with deliberations expected to be lengthy.
