Political concepts

It was not the government that was judged in the European elections on Sunday. This will be done at the end of its four-year term, based on the results of its administration and work. 

For more than a year - which is the amount of time that Turkey has abstained from aggressive actions in the air and the Aegean Sea - two things have become apparent: The first is that Turkey does not back down from its long-standing claims, nor does it miss an opportunity to proclaim them. 

It's been just 10 months since the last national election and the government won by a landslide. So, it is ludicrous from both a political and democratic standpoint that its legitimacy should come into question in any way, shape or form.
