Gul withdraws as Turkey again fails to elect new President

Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul has withdrawn from the country's Presidental race - as he failed to secure a quorum in a second parliamentary vote. After today's ballot the Islamist-rooted AK Party candidate said - "After this time my candidacy is out of the question".

Tens of thousands took to the streets of Man-is-a yesterday to show support for Turkey's secular system - following previous demonstrations in Istanbul and Ankara. It's now expected a new president will not be declared before a general election in July.
