QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press)<\/strong> \u2013 Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan unveiled some of his campaign promises for the crucial May 14 presidential and parliamentary elections at an AKP party event in Ankara on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the most important points, Erdogan pledged to build 650,000 new homes \u2013 319,000 to be completed this year alone \u2013 in the wake of a devastating earthquake in February which killed more than 50,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also addressed Turkey’s economic woes. The country has experienced an official inflation rate of 50,5%; economists say the true rate may be in the triple digits. According to Al-Monitor<\/a>, Erdogan promised to appoint a “strong economy team” if elected, and to bring down inflation by creating 6 million new jobs over five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president also pledged to raise per capita income by over $5,000 to $16,000 and exports by nearly $150 billion to $400 billion. One economist quoted by Al-Monitor described these figures as “Tayyp in Wonderland.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erdogan made further promises to invest in high-speed rail, continue exploring gas deposits in the Black Sea, open a controversial Russian-financed nuclear plant, as well as to go ahead on a phantasmagorical megaproject that would see Istanbul transformed into an island<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AKP man also appealed to his conservative base by promising to protect “family structure” from “deviant movements” through “material and moral support.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Erdogan is narrowly trailing behind his main opponent in national polls, though neither would received enough votes to clinch victory in the first round. The pro-Kurdish HDP party previously announced<\/a> that it would not field a candidate of their own for the presidential election, a move likely to benefit the opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
