Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (IPA: [ɾeˈd͡ʒep tajˈjip ˈæɾdoan]; born 26 February 1954) has been Prime Minister of Turkey since 2003 and is chairman of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party), which holds a majority of the seats in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. Erdoğan served as Mayor of Istanbul from 1994 to 1998. He graduated in 1981 from Marmara University's Faculty of Economics and Commercial Sciences. Erdoğan was also a semi-professional footballer from 1969 to 1982.
Erdoğan was elected Mayor of Istanbul in the local elections of 27 March 1994. He was banned from office and sentenced to a prison term for reciting a poem during a public address in the province of Siirt on 12 December 1997. The poem was allegedly quoted from a book published by a state enterprise and one that had been recommended to teachers by the Ministry of Education. After six months in prison, Erdoğan established the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) on August 14, 2001. From its first year, the AK Party became the largest publicly-supported political movement in Turkey. In the general election of 2002 the AK Party won nearly two-thirds of the seats in parliament, forming the first single-party government for 9 years.
Plot
A decaying urban canal system. A crooked scheme to turn the waterways into the next Venice. A small-time hood named Chick who disappears with a bag full of bribe money... Stalked by a bizarre pair of killers, Chick soon discovers that the only thing more dangerous than no getaway plan is one that's too clever: his girl, Nat, seduces a local boat driver who looks a lot like Chick into unwittingly taking the fall for them. Or at least, that's the plan...

Plot
It is just after the military take over of the administration in 1960. The new head of state believes Turkey can only be independent if it is economically strong. After sounding out the weak private sector and most of the senior bureaucrats, it is clear that nobody has a similar view. So, he dares the government sector to see if anyone can design and produce a 100% original car within 4 months... Well, one engineer shares this vision and a small and dedicated team start working in a locomotive factory. Time is short and resources are limited. Many believe this can not be achieved. This is the story of a team of idealist engineers working on this vision.

Where Do I Go Now
Walk for a hundred miles
Got me A thousand more to go
I walk a hundred miles
Got a thousand more to go
I can't quit my walking
It's about the only thing I know
Got up this morning
Bones are aching and tired
Got up this morning
My bones are aching and tired
The devil he just looked at me
He looked up and smiled
Where do I go now?
Where do I go now?
Where do I go now?
Where do I go now?
Carry me somebody
Cause I don't think I can go myself
Carry me, somebody
Cause I don't think I can go myself
I'll fall down by the wayside
Covered in emptiness
Tell my family
I be dead and gone
Tell my family
I be dead and gone
Ain't that the way of the pilgrim
He's always moving on
Where do I go now?
Where do I go now?
Where do I go now?
With my head against the window
Seal the letter which I did not sign
Should I wait for you for one last time
There's no end and no beginning
Every word comes like a silent scream
She told all the things I did not see
How could I know that she would lift me up to let me down
How could I know that you are all that really matters now
How could I know that forever wasn't quite so long
So where do I go now
Where do I go yeah, yeah
Where do I go yeah
She says nothing's everlasting
I'm so confused, I don't know what to do, what to say
I forgive you but I can not stay
How could I know I thought you'd wait for me but I was wrong
How could I know that you are all that really matters now
How could I know that forever wasn't quite so long
(repeat chorus)
I'm a king among men down at the 'Just Say When'
My loyal subjects raise a glass and send a pint my way
But when I leave my throne to the castle I go home
I stroll across the drawbridge and this is what I say
You are the queen and you're the only queen
That there has ever been
You rule my very soul, I'm worthless on my own
Your majesty will always be supreme
And I don't deserve the pleasure and the privilege to serve
Yeah, they might call me king but that don't mean a thing
'Cause you are the queen
In ol' Egypt, the pharaoh had to walk the straight and narrow
Back when Cleopatra had her day
'Cause he wouldn't get no kissin' until he'd sit and listen
To every word ol' Cleo had to say
Said, mighty Samson to Delia and Arthur, Guenevere
I'll tell you everything you wanna hear
But like any other king just don't mean a thing
'Til I can see the kingdom as I whisper in your ear
Oh, baby
You are the queen, you're reigning down all over everything
Your highness's devine, you use it all the time
Your humble servant I'll always be
So please judge me fair
And from your darkened dungeon I'll be spared
I've laid my armor down, I thrown away my crown
