TL;DR Summary

Turkey's opposition parties are raising concerns about the fairness of the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections, citing media bias, the use of state resources while campaigning, and questionable interpretation of electoral law.

Critics also point to the bending of election law to allow government ministers to stand as parliamentary candidates while remaining in office.
