  1. Législative en Turquie: le triomphe de l’AKP d’Erdogan...

    Le parti du président islamo-conservateur Recep Tayyip Erdogan a très largement remporté les élections législatives cruciales disputées dimanche en Turquie et réussi, contre tous les pronostics, son pari de reprendre la majorité absolue qu’il avait perdue il y a cinq mois.

    Sur la base de plus de 95% des bulletins dépouillés, le Parti de la justice et du développement (AKP, islamo-conservateur) recueillait près de 50% des suffrages et raflait près de 320 des 550 sièges de députés, ont annoncé les chaînes NTV et CNN-Türk.

    Sous réserve de confirmation officielle, ce résultat sonne déjà comme une revanche éclatante pour M. Erdogan, 61 ans, dont le parti avait perdu le 7 juin le contrôle total qu’il exerçait depuis treize ans sur le Parlement.

    L’homme fort du pays avait alors laissé s’enliser les discussions pour la formation d’un gouvernement de coalition et reconvoqué les électeurs pour un nouveau scrutin, persuadé de pouvoir inverser les résultats.

    Autre surprise de la soirée, le Parti démocratique des peuples (HDP, prokurde), qui avait fait son entrée triomphale au Parlement en juin dernier, n’est pas assuré d’y rester. Avec un score encore incertain de 10% au niveau national, il atteint tout juste le seuil nécessaire pour être représenté sur les bancs du Parlement.............http://www.lesoir.be/1031908/article/actualite/monde/2015-11-01/legislative-en-turquie-triomphe-l-akp-d-erdogan

  2. Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu described the outcome of a general election which swept his AK Party back to a parliamentary majority on Sunday as a victory for democracy...

    "Today is a victory for our democracy and our people," Davutoglu told a crowd of cheering AKP supporters outside his home in the central Anatolian city of Konya, a ruling party stronghold.

    "Hopefully we will serve you well for the next four years and stand in front of you once again in 2019," he said, referring to Turkey's next general election in four years time.

    Davutoglu is expected to make a broader policy speech at his party headquarters in the capital Ankara later on Sunday.
