In this Thursday, Aug. 7, 2014 photo, Turkish Prime Minister and presidential candidate Recep Tayyip Erdogan addresses a business meeting in Ankara, Turkey. Turkey holds its first direct presidential elections on Sunday, Aug. 10, 2014, when voters will be tasked with choosing between three candidates for the post, which until now has been largely ceremonial. The 60-year-old Erdogan, who has dominated Turkish politics for the past decade, is widely expected to win, possibly even in the first round.
