The second point is the timing. There is an investigation into corruption, in that the evidence we have so far, indicate that some form of corruption was committed. It is expected that the Government take action against these people. All this happens just before the municipal elections in Turkey. This created some questions in the mind of the Government ".

Talip Kucukcan: "there is economic and political stability in Turkey for 11 years. All won it, with advantages for all parties. Stability is also important for solving the chronic problems of Turkey, as the democratization, the Kurdish question and the situation of Alawites.
