Description
Against a backdrop of raging inflation and massive currency devaluation, voters turn out for Turkey's municipal elections, with the economy high on their list of concerns. "The economy has sunk" says Ahmet Karabey, out early on the streets of Istanbul. Plumber Candan Tankoc says "everything has got more expensive". As voting began on Sunday, all eyes were on Istanbul, which President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hopes to pry away from the opposition. "They will be selling Istanbul piece by piece" says Gulesar Demir, "to get out of that economic deadlock." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
