Yesterday, lemmings from both the CHP (Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi, Republican People’s Party, incumbent mayor’s party) and MHP (Milliyet Halk Partisi, National People’s Party, the nationalists) were busy placing banners and flags on my side street. I don’t know why they were only putting them only on my street. Each partys’ flags are similar, both being red and white in colour. MHP’s flag consists of 3 crescents whilst the CHP’s flag looks like a sun ray pattern.
