Is that all?

Well, if they couldn't do better than that during a depression then it's bye bye from here as the economy slowly recovers!

So bye bye!

Now I understand why you failed in Maths...

ELAM!

2013 0.88%

2014 2.69%

ELAM tripled its percentages!

We are coming!

Actually they only increased their voters by 78%, from 3,899 to 6,957.

DiSy lost 50% of its voters then, right?

Take a course in Statistics.

I did, and I know why it is "Lies, damn lies, and statictics"!

its alright bedragulluimu in about 10 billion years you will win the election.

[kurupetos]

Wrong, Lordo. If ELAM triples every year, in 3 years it will reach 70+%.

Yes, I watched the news earlier and all parties were satisfied with the results.

Dude there were more invalid and blank ballots than there were votes for ELAM. That you can consider such a result a 'huge victory' pretty much says it all.

Huge victory for ...

.... CYPRUS at the ECHR!

The European Court on Human Rights (ECHR) issued on May 12 its largest judgment ever against any country, ruling that Turkey had to pay $123 million as compensation to relatives of missing Greek Cypriots and residents of a Greek enclave in northern Cyprus.

Right before the court’s judgment, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu made a vain attempt to derail ECHR’s anticipated negative decision by warning that a ruling against Turkey would undermine the ongoing negotiations to reach a settlement on the Cyprus conflict. The court rightfully ignored Davutoglu’s threat and went on to issue its firm judgment in favor of Cyprus.

The Turkish Foreign Minister’s arrogant declaration will certainly come back to haunt his government in the not too distant future. All members of the Council of Europe, without exception, are obligated to comply with ECHR’s rulings.

Turkey has no other choice, if it wants to remain a member of the Council of Europe. There have been some ECHR cases where Turkish officials had initially vowed that they would not pay the assessed penalties, but eventually fully paid the required compensation plus interest.

If the Turkish government sticks with Davutoglu’s boastful rejection, not only could Turkey be stripped of its membership in the Council of Europe, but could also forfeit its slim chance of joining the European Union.

It will pay, as it has done in the past:

The court’s judgments are binding on all member states. During the past several decades, Turkey has lost hundreds of judgments in the European Court and has paid, whether it liked it or not, countless millions of dollars in penalties.

... otherwise, as the article states, Turkey will be thrown out of the Council of Europe and also put an end to its slim chances of EU admission. Regardless of the EU, Turkey would not want to lose its place in the most influential of Councils.
