Yeah and the only parties allowed are either islamisist or (Turkish) Nationalist. Parties associated with ethnic minorities (Armenians, Iranians, Greeks and especially Kurds) are banned. electoral fraud and intimidation (backed up by the army in Kurdish areas) are widespread. Campaigning in languages other than Turkish is outlawed and any pretence at democracy is a thinly veil for what is actually a military dictatorship.
