A “iron woman” is expected to tear down Erdogan

Yesterday Periscop conveyed the news that the Turkish opposition had joined to come against Turkey's current President, Recep Tayip Erdogan. Guardian writes today that nationalist politician Meral Akesner is the only bilateral presidential candidate to learn about Erdogan.

It was standing next to a statue of the founder of the Turkish republic, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, in the town of Gresun that lies on the Black Sea, while sharply criticising President Erdogan, writes Periscopi.

Polls have predicted a slight victory for Erdogan in the first round, but a very close race in the second round.

In the first round, you vote for your candidates, but in the second, the opposition has to leave differences and support the opposition candidate, whoever it is. These choices are the most important in our country's history:” she said.

Axenner is 61, a devout Muslim whose grandparents had come to Turkey as immigrants from Greece.

She has said she will put Erdogan-damaged democracy on the track and will also put Turkey's relations with the EU on track.

I'm a practicer of Islam. I have made pilgrimages, but the mind that governs us must rely on law. State secularism makes it possible to change laws based on citizens' needs.” /Periscopi
