]]> Ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party Chairman and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Saturday the closure case was a move against national will, not against AK Party, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported.

Chief prosecutor of the Supreme Court of Appeals Abdurrahman Yalcinkaya filed a lawsuit to close the AK Party Friday, saying “the party has become the focal point of anti-secular activities.”

“We are a political party struggling for democracy,” Erdogan was quoted as saying at his party meeting in southeastern province of Siirt.
