Turkey’s Pro-Kurdish Party HDP Could Derail Erdogan Push for Power

In the towns and villages of south-eastern Turkey, Kurdish clan leaders have a great deal of experience dealing with disputes. In mediation practices going back hundreds of years, they have perfected conflict resolution techniques to negotiate rivalries and blood feuds.
In recent weeks the traditions have found a new field of play – national politics. The tribal chiefs and clan leaders are trading their loyalties and allegiances for votes, with results that will become apparent on Sunday. That's when Turkey goes to the polls in an epic election that will determine the fate of the country’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Some predict a seismic shift in Turkish politics.
