Presidential and parliamentary elections will occur in Turkey on Sunday. There are six presidential candidates. The three main ones are: Recep Tayyip Erdogan, representing the current government, an alliance between the Islamist AKP and the reactionary Turkish nationalist MHP; Muharrem Ince, representing the social democratic/Kemalist CHP; Selahattin Demirtas, representing the leftist HDP. Demirtas is in prison, as are thousands of HDP members. The Turkish media is pro-Erdogan. However by law, all presidential candidates are allowed to do a broadcast on state TV. Demirtas did his broadcast from prison. He has also issued other statements, sent out of prison via his lawyers. **** Demirtaş' TV speech from prison: https://anfenglishmobile.com/news/demirtas-tv-speech-from-prison-27522 Demirtaş: We will cancel HED projects: https://anfenglishmobile.com/news/demirtas-we-will-cancel-hed-projects-27564 Hundreds of thousands of people flock to HDP rally in Amed: https://anfenglishmobile.com/news/hundreds-of-thousands-of-people-flock-to-hdp-rally-in-amed-27580 _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
