Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has launched his re-election campaign, with a pledge to slash inflation to single digits and boost growth, as he seeks to extend his two decades in power.
Mr Erdogan is facing the biggest political challenge since his AK Party (AKP) came to power in 2002 in the vote on 14 May. Polls have shown support sagging in recent years after unorthodox economic policies hobbled the lira currency and sent inflation surging.
