Although the spokespersons of the government made statements trying to make the elections to be held on May 14 seem like a "shooting fish in a barrel", the concerns of losing prevail.
 
And they are trying to confuse the public with this "anxiety of losing" and some illogical statements. This must be why they tried to portray the election as a "political coup attempt"!
 
Some of the government spokesmen's words, "They will try to do on May 14 what they could not do on July 15," are the result of this "fear of losing"!
 
First they make such a statement, then they sideline that "the Americans said it before us".
 
Even if the Americans had made such a statement before them! Does one adopt and repeat such rambling rhetoric?
 
If one of them comes across with such discourses, we will say that we are stumped, but before the discussion of the word of one of them is over, the other continues to confuse with similar discourses.
 
Those who argue that the change in power will be a blow to Turkey's full independence are not missing!
 
Hey guys, tell the truth and say "we don't want elections"!
 
I mean, you should openly declare that you are afraid of the election!
 
What is the manifestation of both making an election decision and saying that this election smells like a coup? Of course, it's a manifestation of "fear of losing"!
 
If they could, they would enact a rule with the power given to them by the presidential system: "Elections are held, but the ruling party can never be changed".
 
If you are so afraid, so worried, why did you decide to choose? Why didn't you dare to say "there is no elections anymore"!
 
Although they say "we filled the squares, we are coming in the first round", their hearts are burning with "fear of losing"!
 
But our ancestors say "cowards die many times before their deaths".
 
It seems inevitable that what they fear will happen to them!
