Western media declared total war against President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in the forthcoming presidential election on Sunday. In the West, the Turkish President has been described as “the other Putin”, a populist, divisive autocrat determined to pursue his dream of empire.
Erdogan has radically transformed Turkey’s domestic politics, economy and foreign policy, and it would be hard to roll this back, especially as his AKP has emerged as a potent political force with penetrating social and bureaucratic influence.
Love him or loathe him, one must admit that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been a consequential President who will leave his mark on Turkey for centuries to come.
Despite Western illusions he will win this election in a landslide .
