<p>We are monitoring the run-up to the 2023 presidential and parliamentary elections
in Turkey on May 14 and are in regular discussion with the Turkish electoral authorities,
the government, opposition parties and civil society groups. We have stressed the
need for the elections to be carried out in a free and fair manner and will continue
our dialogue with Turkey throughout the process. Following an invitation from the
Turkish authorities and in accordance with its mandate, the Office for Democratic
Institutions and Human Rights is deploying an Election Observation Mission to the
14 May 2023 general elections. We have no plans to sponsor independent observers.</p>
