Turks to vote on June 12
Turkish Prime Minister Receb Tayyib Erdogan announced Tuesday that the Turkish parliamentary elections will be held on June 12, 2011.
Mass media outlets inform that the date was determined by the executive council of the ruling "Justice and Development" Party and will be sent to the Central Electoral Committee of Turkey.
The last parliamentary elections were held in 2007 when Erdogan's "Justice and Development" Party received 47% of the votes and formed a uni-partisan government.
