In Turkey, despite the earthquake disaster with a total of more than 50,000 deaths, elections will be held in mid-May. Meanwhile, there was speculation about postponing the presidential and parliamentary elections.
“This people, God willing and the time is near, will do what is necessary on May 14,” Erdogan said.
Observers say the quake could play a decisive role in Erdogan’s ability to stay in office. The earthquake three weeks ago drew criticism of the government’s crisis management (see video above).
More than 50,000 people were killed in the earthquake in the Turkish-Greek border region in Turkey and Syria. According to the government, more than 173,000 buildings in 11 provinces of the country have been destroyed in Turkey alone.
