In Turkey, for the first time in twenty years, Recep Tayyip Erdogan is downgraded from the first to the second category. At the end of a particularly brutal campaign, he seems slightly ahead in the polls by a rival who seems to be his negative in every way.
In the event of a close result on Sunday night, there is every reason to fear a second round with knives drawn until May 28. The contrast could not be greater between the president with his aggressive Islamo-nationalism and the "Alevi Gandhi" who campaigns from his kitchen.
