A Wind of Change in Turkish Politics?
doi:10.18449/2023C42
Turkey’s President Erdoğan is entering his third decade in power after winning a tightly contested run-off election. Hürcan Aslı Aksoy and Salim Çevik discuss how he managed to secure a third term, why the opposition failed to unseat the president and what the election results mean for Ankara’s relations with NATO allies, the EU and Germany.
Turkey’s voters moved decisively against President Erdoğan in the local elections. Does this give an opening to the opposition in 2028?
