Thank you for your testimony. I weep for your situation. Turkey is a beautiful country. My wife and I spent our honeymoon there many years ago, and we have many fond memories of going throughout the country.
One thing I'm interested in hearing from you is regarding the fact that yesterday the president announced a snap election, as Mr. Anderson has noted. I'm wondering how popular President Erdogan's party is. When I was travelling through rural Turkey, through Konya and the Cappadocia region with my wife some 15 or 20 years ago, it was quite clear that it was a very conservative part of the country. I've always wondered how deep and broad his popularity is today as he heads into this election.
