Turkish Parliament speaker Mustafa Sentop said that there is no need to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention to resolve issues in the document or enforce laws related to this, Ahval reported.

He noted that Turkey took certain measures not because the convention says so, but on the basis of laws passed by the Turkish parliament.

Thus, any delays in implementation or any objections can be eliminated via amendments to the law or changes in practical application, he said.

The Justice and Development Party's committee was expected to decide whether the country should withdraw from the Istanbul Convention this week, but the meeting was postponed to August 13.
