Uncertain future of Erdogan Turkey Presidency to be key determinate of regional and world peace | Democracy, elections, and voting at Democracy Chronicles

NEW YORK, NY – JUNE 01: Hundreds of people, including many Turkish Americans and members of the Occupy Wall Street movement, protest in Zuccotti Park in solidarity with demonstrators in Istanbul who are trying to stop a popular park from being demolished to make way for a shopping center on June 1, 2013 in New York City. The protesters chanted slogans against the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is a strong advocate of the move to redevelop Taksim Gezi Park. The controversy has struck a nerve with Turks who have witnessed more green space being given over to shopping centers and other private uses under the Erdogan government.
