土耳其反对党领袖呼吁提前举行大选

 　　ANKARA, June 8 (Xinhua) -- Turkey's opposition¹ Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahceli on Saturday called for early elections in the country to overcome the current "deadlock²."

　　Bahceli said during a MHP meeting that the reason behind the recent protests across the country triggered by a government plan to rejuvenate³ Gezi Park in Istanbul's Taksim Square is the government's "flawed understanding of democracy."

　　"There is no way left other than elections to overcome the current deadlock," Bahceli said, adding that Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's stance and the tumult⁴ have deepened the crisis.

　　Over a week ago, some citizens carried out protest against the demolition⁵ of Taksim's Gezi Park, but it later turned into clashes between protesters and the police, which have left three people dead, over 4,000 injured and thousands detained.
