What does this presidential election mean for Turkey鈥檚 future?
Turkey鈥檚 President Erdogan is facing serious pressure - how could the choice voters make in this month鈥檚 Presidential Election define Turkey鈥檚 Destiny for decades.
For the first time in his 20 years in power Erdogan is facing serious pressure - and the choice voters make in this month鈥檚 presidential election could define Turkey鈥檚 destiny for decades.
The impact of February鈥檚 devastating earthquake in Turkey is one of the key factors determining how voters will decide on their next president. The Turkish economy is also under pressure with inflation running at 55%. Against that background, a coalition of opposition parties, The Table of Six, are supporting a single candidate, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, against President Erdogan.
As polls predict a tight result in the first round of the election, The Inquiry asks: What does this presidential election mean for Turkey鈥檚 future?
