Erdogan sees democratic revolution

The Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan expects a high turnout in the presidential and parliamentary elections in his country Sunday.

He underlined the importance of the ballot box. 'Right now Turkey is going through a democratic revolution with these elections,' said the head of state.

Meanwhile, the largest opposition party CHP reported irregularities at polling stations in the southeast of the country. In the district of Suruc in the province of Sanliurfa, armed men would walk around and threaten voters. Furthermore, observers would be stopped.
