Will Turkey's elections produce a surprise result?
President Erdogan faces real challenges as he seeks to tighten his grip on the power he's held for 16 years.

Turks go to the polls on Sunday for what are seen as the most crucial elections in the country's modern history.

For the first time, presidential and parliamentary votes take place on the same day.

There are six candidates vying for the presidency. If no one wins more than 50 percent of the vote in Sunday's poll, the top two will be involved in a runoff.

Less than 50% by all candidates, a run-off. They don't expect Erdogan to get more than 50%, Sunday.

If they're anticipating a surprise, is it still a surprise?

Who votes doesn't matter.

It's who counts the votes that matter.

If you choose not to decide, have you still have made a choice in Turkey?

Both Iran and Turkey, non Arab, are disappointing. Once western oriented.

Once secular. Now both under Islamic dictatorships.


Too bad both nations'citizens don't revolt and become free, modern, secular
