Shocker: Bulgaria Drops from UK Tourists' Cheapest Summer Spots List
In an unexpected turn, Bulgaria and Turkey have been notably absent from the list of the ten cheapest European summer destinations for British tourists
Turkish people are going to the polls Sunday to vote in general elections, with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP) seeking a third term in office.
According to latest surveys, AKP has a comfortable 42% to 50% of the vote.
If AKP manages to secure full majority by having over two thirds - more than 376 seats in the 550-member Parliament, Erdogan's party can introduce a new Constitution without the need of a referendum and negotiations with the opposition.
The current Constitution would not allow the PM to run for a fourth term in 2015.
The conservative AKP is centering its campaign around the strong economic growth, lower unemployment, a more assertive foreign policy, and not at the last place – Erdogan's personal charisma.
The main challenger is the secular Republican People's Party (CHP).
Under its new leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the party abandoned its image as a supporter of state and military intervention in politics, and is running as a backer of European social democratic values.
