Voters will decide Turkey's future

选民将决定土耳其的未来

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will face the toughest challenge of his two decades as Turkey's premier politician in elections on Sunday. A win for Erdogan could allow him to further extend hispower. A loss — which polls suggest is likely would be an enormous sea change for Turkey, which some analysts say has been pushed toward autocracy under Erdogan's rule. Erdogan's opponents have accused him of allowing the economy to slip into crisis and of mismanaging the response to a devastating earthquake in February. But he still remains popular among religious conservatives.

总统雷杰普-塔伊普-埃尔多安将在周日的选举中面临他作为土耳其首要政治家二十年来最艰难的挑战。埃尔多安的胜利可以让他进一步扩大自己的权力。如果失败——民意调查显示有可能——对土耳其来说将是一个巨变，一些分析家说，在埃尔多安的统治下，土耳其已经被推向了专制主义。埃尔多安的对手指责他让经济陷入危机，并对2月发生的毁灭性地震的应对措施处理不当。但他在宗教保守派中仍然很受欢迎。
