Erdogan is often seen as another authoritarian in the West, almost like Putin. Perhaps that is because he has been around as long, but also because he keeps winning against the odds.

[@jmdi2703]

I am a Turkmen origin Kurdish Alevi from Tunceli/Dersim and I love Atatürk very much too. Because Ataturk was never a racist. However, what he said was always misinterpreted. Ataturk did not use the word "Turkish" to describe a race. In those years, the words Turkmen/Turkoman or Oğuz, Yörük, Kızılbaş were used for Turk race. Ataturk used the word Turkish as a concept of citizenship. Turkish means equal; Turkomen, Kurdoman, Zaza, Circassian, Laz, Macır, Pomak, Assyrian, Greek, Armenian, Jewish, Arab, Nusayri etc. It included all races living in Turkey. Just like the word American. And Atatürk was not aware of the Dersim Massacre that started in the last months of 1938. In 1937, he had a written order saying "Nothing should be done that would harm civilians." Will Atatürk, a peaceful leader who treated even the occupying Australian, New Zealand and Greek soldiers with respect, order the massacre of his beloved Alevis of Turkmen origin from Dersim? Only people with malicious intentions believe this.

Honestly guys, if you do research do it properly. The main reason for the lira devaluation is the QE program, the financing of government spending by the central bank. MONEY PRINTING.

No one really expected falling inflation, as long as there is no balanced budget.

[@hakanmf1]

There's a whole myriad of problems troubling the Turkish economy. Just about all of them can be traced to poor policymaking and we can thank AKP and it's voters for that. From government handouts basically made into policy to widespread corruption all the way up to interest rates, QE and overall poor financial decisions. Any real growth was/is in spite of Erdoğan and AKP. Turkey was lucky to have sound parameters for success, somewhat dampening the devastation caused by the obvious. Both long term and short term prospects have been/are being squandered at best and irreparably destroyed at worst. All to basically fill the pockets of one dinosaur and his cronies.

Main problem is systemical Ataturk did not put any systemical railguards for governmental work,dictatoship and powering noncentral governmental structures. But all of these was because of necesities of that time. 1 because the country was new and it needed an authoratic central regime to put new changes fast and efficiently ,2 social democracy was a new concept so nobody knew how to integrate it properly. This wouldnt caused problem if Turkey stopped worshipping Ataturk and started to upgrade its political and governmental system over time but instead we tried to keep status quo so country needs to have authocratic power to move further or system will just collapse. But authocratic powers tend to corrupt really fast so it is a never ending cycle we will experience until the system changes properly.

But eventually they all ended up doing the same thing. Not only their political concept changed, but their values and ideas also changed. Özal for example started as liberal, he proposed to move away from unitary state to more multicultural one and changing country's name to Anatolia insted of Turkey, but when you look at his later term policies he was planning to invade and re-take Mosul for his Great Turkish State.. Erdoğan is also same, he is now, especially after the coup attempt, safe-guarding Atatürk's founding principles, even the secularism which he critisized a lot during his early career. No one would believe that if you told this 10 years ago but here we are now. Türkiye's imperial legacy and its foundation principles eventually funnels its govering mechanism to more authocratic side. A unitary nation state surrounded by its former subjects while majority of its public are extremely patriotic and culturally conservative. I believe this makes ruling parties to act according to nations founding priniples, since they become to see themselves the state itself after some time. We would probably continue this cycle for a long time, I think after Erdoğan we would get in a transition period like in the 90's after Özal.

Erdogan himself created this personality cult that implies his absolution of any kind of wrongdoing.

They also claim in response to accusations of delayed arrival of disaster response units and relief volunteers with lines like "disaster area is huuuuge, so how can he be everywhere at the same time." The last reason why he re-elected, especially in disaster-hit areas, is the most brain fart one. People in those areas said that, with underlying reason of fear of abondenment, he is the only one that can build our homes and cities again so we should vote for him blabla.

Overall, pretty good summary. Still, like many other summaries, it neglects multiple (and possibly) critical points. The dynamics of local and parliamentary elections in Turkey are quite distinct. While voters may refrain from going to the ballot at local elections due to various reasons (such as a corrupt mayoral candidate), they certainly don't miss the parliamentary or presidential elections. In this case, local elections do not accurately provide a forecast for the next presidential or parliamentary elections. On the other hand, I believe you should've analyzed the voter turnout. A significant portion of the opposition's mayoral candidates won despite receiving less number of votes, but having a higher percentage of the votes. This was due to the lower than usual voter turnout. It seems that the ruling party's supporters chose to protest/punish the party for poor performance in the recent years along with quite idiotic selection of candidates (some of whom are known to be corrupt, ties with criminal organizations etc.). You may ask why choose local elections to protest the ruling party. I believe the answer is quite simple: it's less risky for those who usually vote for the ruling party. The stakes are always higher in presidential or parliamentary elections. Meanwhile, if a clearheaded and diligent candidate, who is a member of the opposition, becomes the mayor, it may still benefit the ruling party's supporters.

I just don't see how a fractured opposition could win better than a united even though they would be ideologically very different. There is no way Fidesz in Hungary or AKP in Turkey can be ousted without a unified opposition. They are just too big compared to any other party. In Hungary they also lack a conservative but more pro-european party like most center-right parties in other countries. Same thing in India, INC knows it can't beat the BJP alone anymore. They were in power for decades and people remember that, either youn need to unify with other opposition parties, or you need a completely new big tent party.

[@Mali_58-n2c]

I don't know about the others, but Erdoğan buys especially the centre-right opponents that he can buy with money. He somehow leaves out of the game what he cannot buy. For example, in 2008, a centre-right leader who had the potential and courage to rival him died in a very suspicious helicopter crash. Some of them were accused of fraud, their companies were seized and their parties were closed. Some were eliminated by sex tape conspiracies. Some of them are kept under control in a way we don't yet know, meaning they are allowed to engage in "limited dissent." Full control of 24 national media organizations is in the hands of Erdoğan and by exploiting "religion" and all kinds of values by Erdoğan's target audience, the ignorant-conservative 45% of the population (he stole the election he won with 52% and steals 5%+ votes in every election), He manipulates by telling every lie. Under these conditions, the opposition's job is really difficult, and since last year's election, we see that some seemingly opposition leaders are working for Erdoğan and deliberately misleading the opposition.

If INC hadn't been forced to liberalize the economy by the IMF in 1991, they would have used socialist policies even now & India wouldn't have been able to grow forever.

The percentages don't tell the whole story. CHP gained control of 35 cities, predominantly urban areas, while AKP now holds 24 cities, mostly rural areas. Therefore, the opposition now controls most of Turkey's economy.

[@Yarenoglu]

Kilicdaroglu has lost more than 10 elections. NO ONE wanted him to be the candidate, not even the majority of CHP supporters. They didn't announce the candidate until the very last minute, everyone was hoping that they were going to either put Imamoglu or Yavas as the candidate, and then Kilicdaroglu put himself forward, and refused to change. Even the second biggest opposition party left the coalition because of that, they did so many independent polls that all showed Kilicdaroglu was the weakest candidate in the country, much below other candidates, even below mayors. But he refused to step down. In the end, the iyi party agreed to come back to the table on the condition that kilicdaroglu make Imamoglu and Yavas his advisors. But it was too late, even though there are/were millions of former AKP voters who wanted to have a change, there was no way on earth they would ever vote for Kilicdaroglu, he is like the antichrist to them. So they voted for Erdogan again. After the defeat, Kilicdaroglu outright refused that this was a defeat, and he paraded around like he had accomplished a lot. Boasting that he had got 47% of the votes, and how this was a major victory (he had never had this many votes before in his life). Everyone said he should resign but he has no shame so he refused. It wasn't until CHP themselves kicked him out that he finally stepped aside. And the new guy who replaced him is pretty much the same person, just in a different body. CHP will never learn. They will lose the next general election as well.

Ozel and Kilicdaroglu are just like Erdogan. Instead of the slightest of self criticism, they label anyone and everyone who criticises them as AKP trolls, threaten to "expose" (dox) them, and have absolutely no desire for any accountability for their actions. Most nationalists, most conservatives, most leftists, and secularists would rather vote for Yavas or Imamoglu than to either of Kilicdaroglu or Ozel. We saw the evidence of this in the last election. CHP will repeat the same mistake again, because they are not a party that learns from their mistakes. They are a corrupted organisation, with a top-down rotting structure.

Game over for tief

[@CelestialSky3335]

As a Turkish voter and former member of the CHP, First of all, this election success is bigger than you think, Turkey is a country with some preconceptions. 65% of the population supports right-wing policies and accuses CHP of being an enemy of religion or a coup plotter; Kılıçdaroğlu was the embodiment of these presuppositions during his 13-year leadership. When people in rural areas heard his name, they react as if they heard the name of the devil and spew hatred. Moreover, because of his Alevi identity, he had an even more negative view in the country, where 95% of the religious population is Sunni. On the other hand, if we look at the opposition identities, although the İYİ party was a party that gained strength from the more secular MHP voters, it was on good terms with the government rather than the opposition, while the other 4 parties were signboard parties that stood out with their conservative and religious characteristics, and they all destroyed themselves by supporting the black sheep of the country's politics, CHP. The election system itself is problematic because the elections in Turkey have never been fair. While most new parties disappear due to the 7% election threshold, the AKP government, which uses all the powers of the government, can create a power that does not actually exist by mixing small tricks in the elections. (Thanks to the threshold system and minor vote-switching tricks, they increased the number of MPs in the parliament above the required 300, but in a fair election they should have won the maximum 260 seats and fallen out of government) In addition, CHP was seriously injured in the 2023 elections because of the Kurdish policy and terrorism issue. For those who do not know, HDP, which is a Kurdish party, is affiliated with the terrorist organization PKK, so when you try to cooperate with HDP, you are clearly considered to have cooperated with the enemy. The 2 newly emerged small right-wing parties (these are MP and ZP) that wanted the votes of CHP, therefore harmed the opposition as an opposition. 2% was not a gap that could not be closed and even Kılıçdaroğlu could have won the election, but when you add up all the reasons I have listed above, you actually have a 5% margin to win the election. You see that winning 50+1 is not enough, you need to make at least a 5% difference. If anyone have a question ask me freely
