Elections in Turkey: A Nationalist Landslide
After a legislation period full of turbulent changes in government, with several corruption scandals and a final coup such as the arrest of the Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan, a landslide could have been expected by the Turkish general elections. The surprise, however, was not so much the good result of prime minister Bulent Ecevit, whose Democratic Left reached 22,3 %, but the strengthening of the extreme right, the National Action Party (MHP) of Devlet Bahceli which reached 18,1 % and became the second party in the Turkish Parliament. The Fundamentalist, instead, have lost consensus as well as the two conservative parties, Motherland and True Path. Bulent Ecevit is now supposed to form a coalition with True Path and the Nationalists. Though considered one of the more hawkish among Turkish politicians, Mr. Ecevit is largely respected. He has firm democratic and secular convictions and should be a guarantee. But if the MHP, whose paramilitary wing is known as the "Grey Wolves", enter cabinet, Turkey might as well be moving into the unknown.
