Turkish voters deliver a blow to the military
by Ron Margulies in Istanbul
The Justice and Development Party (AKP) was re-elected on Sunday of last week with a thumping majority in the Turkish elections.
It is a landslide for the Islamist party that faced a concerted effort by Turkey’s powerful military to influence the outcome of the poll.
The AKP increased its share of the vote to 47 percent from 34 percent in the 2002 elections.
