Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli's call to raise Turkey's province count to 100 has stirred excitement in Ergani, a district of Diyarbakır named among the areas slated for provincial status. Residents said they would welcome the change, which would make Ergani a province in its own right. The proposal remains a political signal rather than settled policy, since creating provinces requires formal government and parliamentary action. What to watch next is whether the ruling alliance adopts Bahçeli's 100-province target and moves to introduce legislation.
