Observing the third world democracy of the US
TURKISH PARLIAMENTARIANS TO OBSERVE US ELECTIONSAfter a long history of itself sending observers to elections in third world countries, this year the United States has accepted foreign observers for today's hotly contended presidential elections. Under the umbrella of the Organization for Security and Cooperation for Europe (OSCE), a delegation of some 60 parliamentarians from various countries will act as observers at polling places across the US. Representing Turkey in the delegation are Nevzat Yalcintas and Alaaddin Buyukkaya from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and Haluk Kepenek from the opposition Republican People's Party (CHP). The AKP deputies are expected to serve in Washington, DC, with Kepenek observing in Florida, the scene of legal disputes and balloting chaos four years ago. Yalcintas told reporters that the US administration had not been willing, but that the OSCE had urged them to accept the observers. Glad to help you guys becomming a democracy hehehe. :)
