ANKARA. - Studies of Turkish GENAR think tank revealed that after recent elections, the rating of Turkish PM, leader of ruling Justice and Development party Recep Tayyip Erdogan continues to grow. 

According to Turkish newspaper Milliyet, 53.4 percent of respondents mentioned Erdogan as most preferred leader. Leader of the main opposition Republican People’s Party Kemal Kılıcdaroglu got 17.5 percent, whereas the leader of Nationalist Movement party Devlet Bahceli got only 9 percent of support.

Note that after previous victory in parliamentary elections on June 12, 2011, Recep Tayyip Erdogan released many anti-Armenian and anti-Kurdish statements.

Increase in its rating after such statements indicates that the large percentage of Turkish society is intolerant towards other ethnicities.
