Turkish centre-left leader Deniz Baykal addresses a public meeting to
announce his Republican People's Party (CHP) candidates September 19,
2002. Most polls show the CHP as the second-placed party ahead of
November 3 elections. The poll frontrunner is a conservative party many
suspect of hiding an Islamist agenda. Financial markets see Baykal and
former economy minister Kemal Dervis, who recently joined the CHP, as
the best hope of a government that will keep a $16 billion IMF loan
deal on the rails. REUTERS/Mustafa Ozer
