Pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP) leader Ahmet Turk (C) addresses the media in front of his party headquarters as he is flanked by his party deputies Aysel Tugluk (R) and Emine Ayna (L), in Ankara December 12, 2009. Turkey's top court closed the only pro-Kurdish party in parliament on Friday for having links to PKK Kurdish rebels in a ruling that deals a fresh blow to the country's faltering bid to join the European Union. The ruling imposes a five-year ban from politics on 37 members of the DTP, including Ahmet Turk and Aysel Tugluk. REUTERS/Umit Bektas (TURKEY - Tags: POLITICS)
