#TurkeyVotes News, Online sources…
We are organizing an election watch program hosted by Public Relations and Corporate Communication MA program in İstanbul Bilgi University. Facebook event page here. Event photos and relevant stuff will be posted there.
Citizens are invited to socialize and watch the game together.
In the mean time, a group of my students producing special coverage at SosyalKafa.net
Sosyalkafa Twitter, Facebook page and Periscope accounts will also be active.
I and some of friends will be mapping election irregularities here.
Citizen journalism collective, Dokuz8Haber editors will be also here. They plan to provide live Youtube broadcasting.
I will probably post more online sources and news through my Twitter account.
Hürriyet Daily News is live blogging the Nov. 1 elections with its distinctive reporting, instant updates on its modernly designed, real-time map and live results from 81 provinces as the country heads to one of the most significant elections throughout its history amid rising tensions over terrorism, political uncertainty and recent crackdowns on the media
A series of terrorist attacks have left country divided over which party is best placed to solve internecine issues
Earlier this month, Imran Kurt, a 22-year-old university student and activist, was preparing to take part in a peace rally in Ankara whenan explosion sent a tremor through the group. Seconds later, another hit.
“When I raised my head, I saw bodies on the floor,” says Kurt. “Our bodies were covered in blood and pieces of flesh and we ran away for 50 metres. Then I ran back to look for my mother who was with me.” She was alive, inspecting the bodies around her, looking to see if her son was among those who perished. “When she saw me she started crying,” he says.
More than 10 years of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s autocratic government could end in election that was called when party lost majority in June
Turkish voters are going to the polls in parliamentary elections that could end more than a decade of single-party rule by the Justice and Development party (AKP).
As Turks warily prepare to vote again in a snap parliamentary election on Sunday, projections hold that, again, no party will win a majority.
If a diverse – but united – Turkey is to survive in its current borders, a constitution based on consensus is desperately needed.
On 1 November, Turkey will re-run its general election, as political parties, namely the Justice and Development Party (AKP), have been unable to form a coalition government since the general election in June.
Turkey, Roiled by War and Insecurity, Votes Again for a New Parliament
Coalition talks after the country last voted for a new Parliament in June were fruitless, and experts say that no party will win a majority this time, either.
A provincial head of the Kurdish problem-focused HDP has been detained for “showing resistance” to a polling clerk at a polling station in Turkey’s northwestern Kırklareli province.
Media freedom, pluralism and media playing the field for candidates were areas which raised concerns ahead of Turkey’s Nov. 1 elections, according to the OSCE election observation leaders
Turkey correspondent Mark Lowen has been looking at why this election is so important.
Turkey’s election on Sunday (1 November) could mark a turning point in relations with the European Union, either bolstering President Tayyip Erdogan’s bid to accumulate more power or putting a check on a leader many in Europe accuse of creeping authoritarianism.
Weary of fretting about the upcoming Turkish election, the terrible things that could happen between now and then, and the uncertainty of what might happen afterwards? Me too. Let’s try to have a laugh about it instead, at least for a moment.
During the last election, all the way back in June, the ruling party plastered the country with billboards proclaiming “The others talk, AK Party does” (Onlar konuşur, Ak Parti yapar). Which, of course, left the question of “does what?” open to Internet jokesters to fill in:
How many people will vote, when and where does the voting begin?

When I arrived in Istanbul five years ago, Turkey was a beacon of hope for the troubled Middle East. I had been posted here by The Wall Street Journal to chronicle one of the world’s fastest-growing economies and the Muslim world’s biggest success
The electorate in Turkey is expected to head to the polls in record numbers on Nov 1 for the country’s critical elections
ISTANBUL—This week, riot police stormed a media building in the heart of Istanbul, reminding the world –- yet again –- of the perilous situation facing journalists in Turkey where press freedom has been steadily eroding

Hours after a hotly-contested game between the Trabzonspor and Gaziantep football clubs in Turkey ended 2-2, Trabzonspor President Ibrahim Hacıosmanoğlu found himself defending his controversial decision to kidnap the match officials, a move so extreme that it precipitated a personal intervention by Turkey’s head of state.
Freedom to Journalists Platform has reacted against police violence and Bugün and Kanaltürk broadcast shut following trustee appointment.
With the peace process in ruins and Kurdish culture under attack, Dengbêj storytellers have re-emerged as contemporary Fahrenheit 451 figures in the battle for free speech.
Kurds are a founding element of the Republic of Turkey, as they contributed their blood to the foundation of the country in the war of liberation, Peoples’ Democratic People (HDP) co-chair Figen Yüksekdağ stated on Oct. 30
The editorial policy of dailies Bugün and Millet, which belong to the Koza İpek group that recently was assigned caretakers by the government, have changed their editorial policy in one night, going from anti-government to pro-government
Air of resignation in Turkish city ahead of national elections, as pro-Kurdish HDP, whose rallies have been bombed, tell of police harassment
The appointment of a ‘trustee panel’ to oversee the output of Istanbul publisher Koza-Ipek is more depressing than the police closing it down

Eurosphere agenda: “Refugees in Berlin create online map of essential resources for new arrivals…
For the millions of refugees arriving in Europe, it can be difficult to adjust to new surroundings. A group of refugees in Berlin have banded together to map key resources across the city, including counseling, healthcare, German language lessons, accommodation, legal assistance, police and public transport facilities. Available in English, Farsi and Arabic, the map lists over 250 services that can accommodate Middle Eastern visitors.
The European Parliament voted on Thursday to call on its member states to welcome “human rights defender” Edward Snowden to Europe with open arms.
The member states should “drop any criminal charges against Edward Snowden, grant him protection and consequently prevent extradition or rendition by third parties, in recognition of his status as a whistleblower and international human rights defender,” read the resolution.
The 17-point action plan for countering chaos on the Balkan route agreed on in Brussels on Monday by the affected states continues to elicit strong reactions. The region could be destabilised and human trafficking could increase, some commentators warn. Others point out that the key to solving the refugee crisis lies in Syria.

The EU and Kosovo sign an agreement to deepen ties that the Balkan nation’s prime minister says “seals Kosovo’s path” towards EU membership.
The recent victory of the conservative Law and Justice party in Poland confirms a recent trend in Europe: the rise of illiberal state capitalism, led by populist right-wing authoritarians. Failure to act decisively now will lead to the eventual failure of the EU and the rise of dystopian nationalist regimes.
