AKP majority gov’t not expected in Turkey snap polls: Professor
Press TV has interviewed Huseyin Bagci, a professor at the Middle East Technical University from Ankara, and Mehmet Solmaz, a news editor with the Daily Sabah from Istanbul, to discuss Turkey’s snap parliamentary election.
Bagci said that “there is a silence in the country before the storm,” despite all tensions that have been seen during the five-month period between the June election and Sunday’s snap polls.
Despite President Recep Tayyip Erdogan using his position to lobby for the Justice and Development (AK) Party, “this will definitely not lead to a majority government of AKP,” he added.
Bagci said due to the “great security problem” in Turkey, the government has deployed more than 140,000 soldiers to secure the election, adding that there is an “undeclared martial law” throughout the country.
Solmaz, however, predicted that the vote would result in the ruling party winning the majority of seats in the legislative chamber and forming another single party government.
He noted that the ruling AK Party has succeeded in increasing the number of its voters after the recent developments, including the attacks against Daesh Takfiri terrorists and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
