ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey’s top court ruled Friday that President Abdullah Gul can finish his seven-year term in office, then stand for re-election.

In 2007, Parliament elected Gul for one-time term as president, but a few months later Turkey enacted constitutional changes that allowed the election of presidents in popular votes for a five-year term.
