Erdogan Presidency Risks Further Polarizing Tense Turkey
[AnNahar] Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi only they haven't dumped him yet... promised to represent all Turks as he declared he would stand for president, but critics fear his assumption of a powerful presidency risks further polarizing an already divided country. Erdogan, 60, who has already been premier for 11 years, made clear in his announcement on Tuesday that he intended to be a much more powerful president than the largely ceremonial role performed by past incumbents.
