Senior AKP deputies request easing of three-term ban from President Erdogan
2015-02-28
[Hurriyet Daily News] Dozens of ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) politicians, including a number of former ministers, who are banned from running for parliament in the upcoming elections due to the AKP's internal three-term limit, have met with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
 to demand an easing of the rule.
Can they not do the local equivalent of a Putin?
Some 68 politicians reportedly met with Erdogan over a dinner and sought to persuade the president about the "importance of some figures continuing to stay in politics for the sake of party."

Erdogan, who is known to be against a change, reportedly preferred to adopt a softer tone and told the politicians to discuss the issue with Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, saying he is the one who should decide about the issue.
