More than 100 suspects of the Ergenekon investigation are being incarcerated at the Silivri Prison near Istanbul and they also voted for the local elections last Sunday.
The results from two ballot boxes that they used were interesting:
DTP (Kurdish Nationalists): 83 votes
AKP (Islamists): 67 votes
MHP (Turkish Nationalists): 46 votes
CHP (Secularists): 41 votes
The prosecutors and the government media had created a public perception that links the Ergenekon gang to CHP. But it seems that the democratic choices of the suspects are actually much more different.
More interestingly, the Labor Party didn't get any votes. It is surprising, because Dogu Perincek, the leader of the Labor Party, is also in this prison. Maybe he didn't vote, we don't know yet...
