"In principle, we plan to propose the extension [of the motion] to the National Security Council (MGK)" Yıldırım said.
On April 19, the state of emergency was renewed for another period of three months and was set to expire on July 19.
The first state of emergency was initially ordered by Parliament on July 21 and was extended again on Oct. 11.
