"Turkish foreign minister Gul hints he will run for president again, despite opposition
ISTANBUL, Turkey: Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul hinted Wednesday that he would resume his bid to become president, despite fierce opposition from Turkey's military-backed, secular establishment.
Gul's party won a strong parliamentary majority in weekend general elections, called early to defuse political tension ignited by the Islamic-rooted party's first attempts to present Gul as a presidential candidate. At the time, the army threatened to intervene to safeguard secular principles."
