| [Ynet] The mayor of ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's capital says he is resigning, apparently succumbing to weeks of pressure from President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... Ankara Mayor Melih Gokcek announced after a meeting with Erdogan on Monday that he would step down Saturday. Gokcek is the fifth elected mayor from Erdogan's party to leave office under pressure from the president. Erdogan has said he wants to "rejuvenate" his party and replace officials he claims suffer from "fatigue." The mayor of Istanbul resigned last month. |
