Politics
In Turkey's 2004 local elections, Provincial General Assembly votes were divided between the incumbent AKP (31,25 %), traditional center-left CHP (26,3 %) and the traditional center-right DYP (20,98 %). The rightist MHP campaigning on Turkish-identity consciousness arguments had obtained a further 9,5 % (especially in the Fethiye district), with the other two parties of the former (till November, 2002) coalition government, urban right ANAP and Bülent Ecevit's center-left DSP ebbing down to 2,2-3,4 %.
