ANKARA—The political fallout from Turkey’s rushed coronavirus lockdown over the weekend has exposed tensions at the top of President Tayyip Erdogan’s AK Party after he rejected the resignation of his interior minister.
Suleyman Soylu submitted his resignation on April 12 after authorities gave just two hours’ notice for a 48-hour curfew in Turkey’s main cities, causing chaotic scenes as crowds of people rushed to the shops to stock up on supplies.
