minister prize china chaz government. the former army leader 1st came to power in a 2014 can side loan. mocha is lashing the coastline along the border of the in, moore. and bangladesh authorities evacuated 400000 people ahead of the giant storm . a groups have warned of severe consequences for cost as bizarre. the world's biggest refugee camp, which lies on most of voters in turkey, are going to the polls and landmark elections that could and president, origin of type air, the ones more than 2 decades in power, opinion polls give his challenger, come out coolidge to roll and narrow lead, more than $60000000.00 people will also vote for members of parliament. turkey is in the grip of an economic crisis and is still recovering from devastating earthquakes of killed 50000 people earlier this year. it's being seen as turkey's

most importantly election in generations. presidents, much of type out a one has dominated the country's political stage for the past 20 years, and he even re shape the constitution which the critics bure. another term for the conservative religious leader could spell the end of turkey's democracy. but with polls showing him facing a tough election fight, they're the ones as no one else can be trusted, disappeared in the country. cool, cool, cool, cool. we will not allow the navy blue relations on the, the brotherhood and buttons of citizenship between a 85000000 people to be on the mind. we will build the century of turkey together. we've use shoulder to shoulder. we will pave the way for a great and powerful took you together with you all the us. but under other ones, watch turkey's ones booming economy has stalled with high inflation, causing many voters to question the president stewardship. and then came the

devastating earthquake himself these turkey many criticized are the ones response. as inadequate turkeys opposition, usually splintered among several parties, has seized the opportunity to mount a serious challenge. the opposition has united behind a single candidate come out, can starve to the star, lose will beach the secular center, luxury, public and people's party, the c h. p is pledging a more inclusive, more democratic style. if he's elected, the fate of the turkish republic cannot rest in the hands of one person alone. no one except the single person room. this year turkey marks the $100.00 the anniversary of the countries founding. and its democratic future observers say, is that state in the presidential election, dw correspondent during jones and eastern both told me more about what's at stake

for turkey's democracy and select as well. suddenly that is what the opposition alliance is saying. the challenge to present from child to come are correct. so you said there's a few 12 democracies that state can these elections? i accuse of incumbent president, one of the accumulating incredibly, a centralized powers. marginalising off of checks and balances. and using those pals and an increasing the autocratic way, now i would want dismisses that, he said the 1000 needed to create a strong, powerful, talking, a very difficult neighborhood for the opposition. they say this election was probably the most important, kentucky's democracy in determining the future of the country. all right, so the opposition saying this is a decisive election for turkey internally. but what about when it comes to foreign policy? how much of an impact could the outcome of this election have on turkey's relations abroad?

while i think there will be huge changes in fact uh, collect totally in interview, said that that will be a $108.00 degree degree. change in foreign policy tools to key west and allies, the on the other ones leadership talk, he's become more or more strange it's relations or is traditional allies in the united states and the european union, gravitating closer to the most go in even beijing. but now a crystal says that there's a central for the country to recognize it's key traditional allies and they will be a re orientation back towards your washington and brussels to fundamental change to so peacefully a major changes at stake in the country as well as color store replacing a change in the constitution and the return to parliamentary democracy away from this powerful executive presidency. so dory, and these are really very opposing visions for the direction for turkey in the coming years. but we have to also mention it is a tied raise, and most polls at least are showing

a very narrow lead for carriage thoroughly should he, when do you think presidents air to one and his followers are going to admit defeat as well? that has to be said a major concern of commentators and the opposition on given the fact that we've had some very conflicting statements during the campaign. a one stage of one said the to if democracy was threatened to support us, were ready to defend it like they did enough and failed military coups. and that was interpreted as a threat to the opponents of position if they did win while his junior partner debit punctually. very controversially said there was a bullet for every opposition boat and now that goes up to few or in the country. but it has to be said in the run up in the last 2 days of tools. election day was one of these changes this time when he was off this question. he said, if the vote if, when thinking so, suppose they will, of course be a peaceful transition of power. cuz i think the comp a lot of concerns. but it has to be said that that is a concern on election day of money. both isn't in this country during jones
