ISTANBUL (Reuters) – President Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday that Turkey was entering a new period in the economy and judiciary and that parliament will prioritise new judiciary reform packages next year.

His comments, in a speech to a provincial congress of his ruling AK Party, returned to a theme which he detailed on Wednesday when he pledged a new economic growth strategy in the wake of surprise upheaval among economic policymakers.
