BBC World Service - The Documentary, After the earthquake: Turkey’s election

Will February's deadly earthquake change Anatolia's support for President Erdogan?

We travel to Turkey's Anatolian heartland to find out whether the region which helped propel President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to power in the early 2000s will do it again in May's crucial election despite widespread disappointment with the government's preparation and response to February's deadly earthquake.
