Turkey: Armenians To Vote For AKP
July 13, 2007 19 48 GMT
Sixty percent of Turkish Armenians are expected to vote for the
ruling Justice and Development Party in Turkey’s July 22 elections,
Etyen Mahcupyan, editor of Turkish Armenian weekly Agos, told
Turkey’s Tempo Magazine on July 13. Mahcupyan said the remaining
Armenian vote would likely be split among the pro-secular opposition
Republican People’s Party, nationalist Young Party and center-right
Democrat Party. He said Armenians in Turkey’s second electoral region
will likely vote for independent leftist candidate Baskin Oran for
parliament.
