Sveukupni rezultati predstavljaju značajan neuspjeh za AKP, koja je 2007. na jugoistoku osvojila preko polovine glasova i uvela reforme poput prvog TV kanala na kurdskom jeziku.
The overall results represented a significant failure for the AKP, which won more than half the vote in the southeast in 2007 and had introduced reforms such as the country's first Kurdish-language TV channel.
