"Shame On You": Turkey President Faces Voter Fury After Earthquake

BY A STAFF REPORTER: A few days after Turkey's worst disaster, everyone's message to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, "Don't come here to ask for votes.There is no government, no state, no police, no soldiers. Shame on you! You've left us alone." More than 21,000 people were killed in Turkey and Syria in the most politically sensitive moments of Erdogan's two-decade rule. The Turkish leader has proposed holding a critical election on May 14, which could keep his Islamist-based government in power until 2028.
