S.P. Changes Its Abbreviation

ANKARA - The Felicity Party changed its abbreviation, which was ''SP'' as ''Saadet (Felicity)'' upon warning of the Constitutional Court on Friday.
The Felicity Party fulfilled the conditions of the warning before the end of the six-month period.
In a notification to the Supreme Court of Appeals Chief Prosecutor's Office, the Felicity Party noted that it had changed its abbreviation as ''Saadet''.
Earlier, the Constitution Court warned the Felicity Party to change its abbreviation in accordance with Article 96 of the Political Parties Act since the abbreviation of ''SP'' as it had been the abbreviation of the outlawed Socialist Party.
Article 96 of the Political Parties Act envisages that abbreviation, signs or symbols of an outlawed political party cannot be used by another political party.
