Mustafa Akkoyunlu says Turkey has excessively centralized political architecture . Besides the summer heat and the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan , the relative lull might be explained by the widespread anticipation that Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan , candidate of the ruling AKP , will emerge triumphant from the ballot box , in either the first or the second round .

He says he understands power and uses it like no other politician in Turkey 's modern history .
