Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) said on Monday the response to a failed coup attempt must be conducted within the rule of law and that the plotters and those who helped them must be tried in the courts.

Turkey widened a crackdown on suspected supporters of the failed military coup on Sunday, taking the number of people rounded up in the armed forces and judiciary to 6,000.
In a statement, the CHP also said the military must not be portrayed as the enemy.

Would not support death penalty: Pro-Kurdish opposition

 Turkey's pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) would not support any proposal put to parliament on the reintroduction of the death penalty following a failed coup attempt, party spokesman Ayhan Bilgen told Reuters.
"No, we will not support it," Bilgen said, adding that in any case new laws could not be applied retroactively and that it was the responsibility of politicians to communicate this to the people.
