To read about the elections in Turkey, click here. These elections are incredibly important. A couple of weeks and months ago, secularists took the streets in several Turkish cities to protest in favor of Turkey’s secular system and against the AK Parti which wanted to make Abdullah Gül President of the Turkish Republic. Secularists opposed (and continue to oppose) Gül because he is an Islamist (obviously) and because his wife wears a headscarf. Many Turks believe that today’s elections were about more than politics as usual.
Today’s elections can change Turkey and Turkey’s position in the world. The question is who wins and with how many votes?
