Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan casts his vote in Istanbul, Turkey, 29 Mar 2009
Turkish authorities say fighting between rival political groups left at least four people dead Sunday as the country held local elections.

Officials say the fighting broke out in three cities in the mainly Kurdish southeast, including the region's largest city, Diyarbakir.

Around 48 million people are eligible to vote in Sunday's elections for mayors and other local representatives in 81 provinces.

The polls are considered a popularity test for Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Most opinion polls are predicting a solid victory for his moderate, Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party, known by its Turkish initials AKP.

But record-high unemployment and a global financial crisis could hurt the AKP's showing.

Secular and nationalist opposition leaders have been fiercely critical of the AKP. But analysts say the opposition parties are weak and fragmented, posing less of a challenge to Mr. Erdogan's party.

The prime minister's administration courted poor voters with heavy spending on social assistance programs ahead of the elections.

The government has held off signing a new deal with the International Monetary Fund until after the elections. Many analysts attribute the delay to spending cuts the IMF would likely impose on Turkey.

The ruling party also has been campaigning heavily in the mainly Kurdish southeastern region, hoping to draw votes away from pro-Kurdish parties.

Turkey has 75 million population. No matter what their ethnic origin was. It might be Arabic or Tatar or any others. If it is the real news then i recommend u to go get some most real news from US.

The kurds killed and injured today were between AKP supporting kurds and DTP supporting kurds. Why should we label it a genocide exactly?

[paliometoxo]

th epoint was that if 6 kurds where to be killed by turks it would be called nothing but if 6 tcs where killed they call it genocide

[turkkan]

th epoint was that if 6 kurds where to be killed by turks it would be called nothing but if 6 tcs where killed they call it genocide

But the 6 kurds were killed by other kurds from a rival political group and not by turks. If 6 tcs were killed by political infighting with other TC's we would not called it a genocide.

All of these deaths were the result of pitched battles between rival groups contestıng for the office of muhtar ın a one or two small vıllages. One such death was in Manisa. Anybody who thinks that Manisa is in the south east of Turkey should not be trying to lecture others about Turkish affairs!
