| Turkey's ruling party claims win ISTANBUL, Turkey (CNN) -- Turkey's ruling Islamist-rooted party claimed a resounding victory Sunday, winning nearly 47 percent of the vote in the country's parliamentary elections, electoral officials said. With 99 percent of the votes counted, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Justice and Development party, or AKP, was set to hold 342 seats in the country's 550-seat parliament. ........The nomination sparked massive protests from Turks who feared the AKP would attempt to turn Turkey into an Islamic state. It also elicited a warning from Turkey's military -- which has seized power from civilian governments three times and pushed out a forerunner of the AKP in the 1990s -- that it would step in if necessary to protect the republic's secular tradition............ Turkey's ruling party claims win - CNN.com This all sounds a little ominous bearing in mind turkey wants to join the EU.      |
