OSCE criticizes Turkey election conditions as “unfair” – YouTube
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe criticizes as “unfair” the conditions under which Turkey’s election was held.
The OSCE said in a damning report that the election was marred by a media crackdown, violence and other security concerns. It said the campaign for Sunday’s vote was characterized by “unfairness” and fear after a surge in violence. Meanwhile, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe went further and denounced the entire process as “unfair.” This comes as the leader of Turkey’s second largest opposition party has warned that every vote cast for the AK Party will push the country towards more disasters. Also, the leader of the main pro-Kurdish party Selahattin Demirtash complained of unfair election conditions.
