AKP voter supports ruling party because of services provided

Speaking to MEE correspondent Shane Farrel, a taxi driver near Istanbul's Okmeydani district says he voted for the the ruling Development and Justice Party AKP.

"Since AKP came to power, social security and access to hospitals has greatly improved."

"I can travel to my hometown in Adana by plane at much cheaper prices than before. Why would I vote for someone else? CHP not trustworthy," he added.
