I am aware that the President is not loved by all Turks. Do you think that there could be trouble brewing or will things be solved peacefully? I'm heading to Turkey (Ankara) for the first time and I'd like to know how things are.

No partiulcar implications for travel safety.
Perhaps may be some political demonstrations in Ankara.
Political turmoil does not usually disrput travel plans. For example the elected Thai government was deposed in a military coup a whiule ago; the holiday season and foreihgn tourists just kept coming and going as if nothing happened.

You mean the current presidential candidate who will be elected as president by the new parliament at the end of August ?
There will definitely be trouble but I am certain that it will not effect you as a tourist..

What you might be affected by in Ankara is the severe water shortage. I read that water is 2 days on, then 2 says off.
Have a shower before you go.

Jeremy if you are that worried maybe you should follow the Turkish Daily News web page on a daily basis so that you can arrange your travels accordingly.
