Six Turkish opposition politicians have resigned over a sex tape scandal that could have far-reaching consequences for the country's parliamentary elections on June 12.
The six, all leading members of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), quit on Saturday after a website broadcast secretly filmed videos, purportedly showing senior figures having sex in a house used by party members for extramarital affairs.
Four senior members of the hardline group had already resigned earlier this month over similar videos, throwing the party's electoral prospects into doubt.
The state-run Anatolian news agency said deputy chairmen Osman Cakir, Umit Safak and Mehmet Ekici, along with general secretary Cihan Pacaci and his deputy Mehmet Taytak had resigned their party membership and candidacies to be members of parliament. More + video...
