Turkish centre-left leader Deniz Baykal (in spectacles) and former
economy minister Kemal Dervis attend an election campaign meeting in
Istanbul September 19, 2002. Dervis recently joined Baykal's Republican
People's Party, which most polls show 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 Dervis as the best hope of a government that will keep a $16
billion IMF loan deal on the rails. REUTERS/Mustafa Ozer
