The confusion that prevailed in the Turkish political life cedes its place to clarity and conscience, as the extremist Islamist premier Erdogan´s party has been defeated in yesterday´s municipal elections.
With more than 97.3 percent of the votes counted, Erdogan´s Justice and Development (AKP) Party gets 38.97%, whereas the two leading opposition parties, the Center-Left Republican People´s (CHP) Party of Deniz Baykal and the Right Nationalist Movement (MHP) Party of Devlet Bahceli get respectively 23.23% and 16.13% of the suffrage. This means that the two opposition parties combined total more than the Islamists - for the first time in the 21st century."
