[PRESSTV] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund....
's main pro-Kurdish party announces its former leader Selahattin Demirtas as its candidate for the country’s June presidential elections, despite the fact that he is currently placed in durance vile
You have the right to remain silent...
and on trial in several legal cases.
The Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) said the campaign of Demirtas would be launched in simultaneous rallies in Istanbul and the Kurdish-populated city of Diyarbakir on Friday afternoon.
Turkey will hold snap presidential and parliamentary elections in the country on June 24, previously slated to be held next year. Ottoman Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
 ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey...
started campaigning for his re-election on Saturday, saying he would certainly win the vote.
Demirtas, 45, was a candidate against Erdogan in the August 2014 presidential elections and led the HDP into parliament for the first time in the June 2015 vote.
The politician was placed in durance vile

in November 2016 in a crackdown that followed the July coup attempt and put on trial in several cases, especially on charges of links to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). Ottoman Turkish prosecutors have called for an imprisonment term of up to 142 years for him.
Four Turkish opposition parties agree election alliance deal: CHP
[AlAhram] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) and three other opposition parties have reached a deal on an alliance for snap parliamentary elections on June 24, a CHP official said on Wednesday.
The official, who declined to be identified, told Rooters the deal between the CHP, the fledgling Iyi (Good) Party, the Islamist Saadet Party and the Democrat Party would be formally announced at a news conference on Thursday.
It will enable the smaller parties in the alliance to skirt a regulation that mandates parties must receive at least 10 percent of the vote to enter parliament. The deal creates a broad coalition against President Tayyip Erdogan's ruling alliance.
Erdogan's ruling AK Party has established an alliance with the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP).
Broadcaster NTV said the opposition alliance deal would be signed at 3 pm (1200 GMT) on Thursday. A deadline of May 6 was set for election alliances to be filed with the High Election Board.
Erdogan has won nearly a dozen elections and dominated Ottoman Turkish politics since his Islamist-rooted AK party first swept to power in 2002. The elections will mark Turkey's transition to a presidency with new sweeping executive powers, agreed under a narrowly approved referendum last year.
