Turkey will announce its Human Rights Action Plan on Tuesday, which "was prepared according to the expectations of all factions of Turkey," President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Wednesday at the 7th Istanbul Provincial Congress of Justice and Development Party (AK Party).

"Next Tuesday, we will share the Human Rights Action Plan, prepared in line with the expectations of all segments," the president explained.

Also, in two weeks, the country will reveal the nation's financial plans with Erdoğan adding, "I hope we will reveal our determination to grow our country once again by announcing our economic reform package."

The Human Rights Action Plan is expected to focus on freedom, the right to security, the right to a fair trial and freedom of speech, as well as the rights of women and the disabled. The enhancement of these liberties has seen setbacks in the bureaucracy, which has prevented them from being implemented properly.
