Istanbul/Ankara: Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) said today the reponse to a failed coup attempt must be conducted within the rule of law and that the plotters and those who helped them must be tried in the courts.

Turkey widened a crackdown on suspected supporters of the failed military coup on Sunday, taking the number of people rounded up in the armed forces and judiciary to 6,000.
In a statement, the CHP also said the military must not be portrayed as the enemy.
