Turkey elections: Erdogan and party suffer shock defeats

Turkey's president Tayyep Erdogan has said he will improve his party's track record after it suffered significant losses in local elections, giving the opposition, and his main rival, the mayor of Istanbul, a huge boost.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
It's the AK party's worst defeat after more than 20 years in power, with the opposition Republican People's party making major gains in most of the main cities and in conservative areas in the centre of the country.

I’m very happy for you. Have been to Turkey many times and like the country and the people very much. The legacy of Ataturk is very interesting and makes Turkey unique.

[@uzaydaisemekisteyenadam4543]

As a 35-year-old Turk, I say that Turkey will never be an Islamic state and never will be. No one can afford this because the principles created by Atatürk 100 years ago are unique. He is the father of the Turks. @@mogznwaz

Good luck to Turkey with western democracy. RIP stability and peace

[@ItsMeTrist]

Because things are so peaceful and stable in russia, ukraine, china, taiwan, malaysia etc. Bad troll is a bad troll, but if you're serious... You should probably go outside and have a look before you open up your gab.

[@ekinb.3524]

Our democracy is not western, as our culture is not eastern. We are unique, and we have our own democracy and decisions.

You will still be at the mercy of the west given the sanctions they placed still. Europe has made it clear that Turkiye is not welcomed in the Union ​@@ekinb.3524

Council elections?

[@StrongandStable17]

Yes, everything at once though, so a pretty big test. May seem trivial on the surface. But: Erdoğan's party has NEVER, lost the popular vote since their founding in 2001. And the CHP hasn't come first since 1977. And all this when the Opposition was not in the best of shape either, having been defeated Last year in both Parliamentary and Presidential contests.

@@JRBullet do you mean Iran/Afghanistan where they are tortured, even worse, for NOT wearing it or, in the latter, daring to think about an education ??

​@@nadpor68 that being worse does not make the former any better... you should know that... whataboutisms are a strawman not real argument... think harder before you speak next time

[@JRBullet]

@@nadpor68 so you don't deny crimes done by secular system in turkey but you jumped to iran and Afghanistan and trying to say the same happen in turkey? As always taking actions done by a group of people and saying its islam teachings. Turkey was stolen by secular gangs to oppress muslims it was legalized by the government this is what secular based on.

[@JRBullet]

@@nadpor68 so you dare talking about education what Muslim women were prevented from education in Turkey even before Afghanistan or Iran? isn't Iran and Afghanistan is the result of secular occupation? when in fact none of what you said used to happen when it was one united Islamic nation. if Taliban prevented women for education USA representing the secular nation killed them preventing them from life and therefore education. where you from btw?

Hope the people made the right choice in voting for a suited leader to lead Turkey in the current situation in the middle east.
