Turkey is gearing up for Sunday's local election, seen as an indicator of support for the ruling Justice and Development, or AK Party (AKP).

The AKP has been doing well in opinion polls despite a worsening economy. However, many Turks wonder whether Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the prime minister, has done enough to earn a clear victory.

    Sorry to rain on your parade, but your party secretly supports the PKK, the Israeli Zionists and the Armenian lobby.

    Good, Turks don't want the Bureaucrats of Brussels and the Eurotrash leaders to tell them what to do.

  • Yep, I admitt I most likely know very little about Turkey, and depite originally being Iraq and your neighbour, your whole militant secularism that bans basic human rights like wearing the Hijab (some of my relatives wear it here in the UK - a Christian country and they got good jobs as lecturers and doctors), nor your people's strong grip of Islam (preying five times a day). It just makes no sense to me.

  • You dont know anyting about Turkey and the Turkish army, do you? Look up 1997.

  • That fucker wanted to ban alcohol sales in Ankara - the capital!

    I have nothing against Islam of his wife wearing the Hijab - some of my relatives do. But I hate Islamic law and forcing it on people who don't believe that crap.
