ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkey's main opposition promised on Sunday to revitalise a flagging economy and boost democracy in an election manifesto which accused the ruling AK Party of polarising the country and leaving millions in poverty during its 13 years in power.

The AK Party is expected to win the June 7 parliamentary election comfortably, but uncertainty over whether it will gain enough support to change the constitution and boost the powers of President Tayyip Erdogan has recently unnerved investors.
