TURKS FAVOR OBAMA FOR U.S. PRESIDENT

Turks are widely indifferent toward the outcome of the upcoming presidential election in the U.S., but those who care overwhelmingly favor Democratic candidate Barack Obama over Republican John McCain, an international survey has revealed. Twenty-two percent of the Turks polled said they wanted to see Obama elected as US president in next month's election, while only 8 percent supported McCain, according to a Gallup poll of 70 countries conducted between May and September. Seventy percent of the Turks surveyed did not state an opinion. Senator Obama is popular amongst Turks, but some are concerned that relations with the United States could suffer a blow under his presidency, given his firm pledges of support to the Armenian Genocide recognition campaign, Today's Zaman reports.
