Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday called on parliament to "swiftly" end the immunity from prosecution of pro-Kurdish lawmakers, accusing them of "inciting terrorism."

"We must swiftly finalise the issue of immunities. Parliament must take steps on this issue swiftly," Erdogan said in a speech in Ankara, also repeating his call to expand the definition of terrorism.
