ANKARA - The prosecutor`s office in the Turkish capital of Ankara launched an investigation regarding the claims that office of a high-level member of an opposition party was bugged.
Earlier on Wednesday, Deniz Baykal, the chairman of the main opposition Republican People`s Party (CHP), said that security forces bugged CHP Secretary General Onder Sav`s office and serviced excepts of his conversations to a daily newspaper.
The dialogue that took place between Sav and a governor last Friday, was published word by word in the headlines of a newspaper on Monday.
Interior Minister Besir Atalay then said that the government pledged to illuminate the incident, and asked the authorities to launch an investigation into the allegations.
The bureau investigating civil servants` crimes will deal with the file.
