Yusuf Tekin, a political scientist at the Ankara based think-tank the Institute of Strategic Thinking, says as in every election campaign, all parties focus on foreign policy in their platforms, but this is the first time that -- due to the Middle East uprisings -- people are more interested in Eastern politics than Western.
Jusuf Tekin, politički naučnik u tink-tenku Institut za strateško razmišljanje, sa sedištem u Ankari, kaže da se, kao i u svakoj predizbornoj kampanji, sve stranke fokusiraju na spoljnu politiku u svojim platformama, ali je ovo prvi put da su -- zbog pobune na Bliskom istoku -- ljudi zainteresovaniji za istočnu politiku nego za zapadnu.
