| [Hurriyet Daily News] President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... has branded the Supreme Election Board (YSK) wrong after it rejected calls for the relocation of ballot boxes in several eastern and southeastern districts, saying it would be responsible for any undesired consequences. "This is where the YSK is on the wrong track. It is the district election authorities which determine the voting neighborhoods in the districts. The YSK is not really interested in this," Erdogan said Oct. 4 at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport before departing for La Belle France's Strasbourg to attend an "anti-terror rally." "I hope we will not come across the problems we encountered during the June 7 elections. If so, the YSK will be responsible for them," Erdogan said. In a majority of votes, the YSK rejected calls for the relocation of ballot boxes in several districts. The YSK's decision came after a number of local election councils in eastern and southeastern ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... asked that polling stations be moved in certain neighborhoods due to security concerns in the upcoming election amid deadly renewed conflict between security forces and faceless myrmidons of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). |
