| [DAWN] RECEP Tayyip Erdogan should have seen it coming. Perhaps he did, given that opinion polls were reasonably accurate in predicting the result of Sunday's parliamentary election in ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... . In which case, his belligerent tactics clearly backfired. Erdogan wasn't a candidate, having last year successfully engineered his elevation to the presidency, constitutionally a relatively symbolic post. No one was particularly surprised when the focal centre of political power consequently shifted from the head of government to the head of state. |
