Gas leakage
The money collected for the natural gas service is distributed to the contractors by the Municipality Mayors from the Virtue Party

Collected from the public
IGDAS and EGO affiliate of Istanbul and Ankara Municipality Mayoralties are determined to give the money collected from the citizens to the contractors instead of paying BOTAS. IGDAS and EGO are 17.5 and 7 trillions in debt to BOTAS respectively.
BOTAS officials say "They don't pay the money violating the protocole. Despite the 14% interest every month, we don't have the authority over them."


Test for headscarve
The first problem of the Parliament to be meeting soon is the headscarved law-maker of the Virtue Party; Merve Kavakci

Everyone wonders whether Merve Kavakci will attend the General Board meeting of the Parliament headscarved or not. In case she wants to sworn in headscarved even the microphone she will be speaking into will be turned off.

Warning Ms. Kavakci not to "close the doors", Prime Minister Ecevit reiterated his view that headscarf cannot be allowed in the Parliament.




The result of April 18: "Ecevit once more shouldered the central left"

The starting point of the great shake in Turkish politics is the central right. While the ultra-right doubled its vote, central right halved it. The central left which preserved its usual percent is shouldered once more by the Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit.
