Podcasts about kemal kilicdaroglu

Turkey's main opposition CHP was thrown into fresh disarray Saturday as court-installed leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu made his first visit to party headquarters since a controversial court ruling scrapped a 2023 party primary. Ozgur Ozel, the CHP leader ousted by the decision, called for an urgent congress, telling thousands at an Ankara rally that the party "cannot be run by an appointed leader". The 21 May court ruling has plunged the CHP, Turkey's oldest political party, into a crisis. Three days after the order, riot police forced their way into the party's headquarters in Ankara, armed with pepper spray and batons, to remove CHP leader Ozgur Ozel – a key rival to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The court said Ozel's 2023 election as party leader was marred by irregularities, and restored the former leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu. In Turkey, elections are overseen by the Supreme Election Council, which certified Ozel's win, and its rulings are constitutionally final. It is just the latest move against the CHP, which scored a major victory over Erdogan's ruling AKP in the 2024 local elections and has since gained ground in the polls. Party primary Kilicdaroglu visited that party headquarters on Saturday to mark the final day of Eid, with a photo shared by his team on social media showing him seated at his desk with a copy of the party's bylaws placed prominently in front of him. "I will bring a ballot box for party congress before you as soon as possible," Kilicdaroglu said in an address, without providing a precise date. Ozel renewed his challenge to Kilicdaroglu to contest a party primary, saying he was willing to run "with whatever delegates he wants". With crowds chanting "Traitor Kemal!", Ozel said the party congress must be held "immediately", urging Kilicdaroglu to "hold a congress at once, with whichever delegates you wish. Give the party an elected leader without delay. The CHP does not accept appointments." He also demanded a primary election, saying that he would give up the party leadership if he received less than 85 percent support. Turkey expert Gonul Tol, a senior fellow at United States think tank, the Middle East Institute told RFI that Kilicdaroglu is "a convenient opponent for [President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan, because he "lost every major election during his 13 years at the helm of the party." Turkey riot police use tear gas to take opposition party HQ 'A broader campaign' Ozel, 51, was elected leader at a party convention after 77-year-old Kilicdaroglu lost the 2023 presidential election. Ozel has revitalized the CHP, which now leads many opinion polls. Tol suggests Ozel's removal is part of a wider campaign. "This is the latest step in Erdogan's broader campaign to weaken the opposition," said Tol. “Last March, in another unprecedented move, authorities jailed Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoglu – he is Erdogan's top political rival. And since then, the government has systematically targeted CHP mayors through court cases and corruption investigations,” she added. Crackdown on Turkish opposition intensifies, with further arrests of mayors Addressing protesters, Ozel vowed to flood the streets and squares in defiance of what he calls a judicial coup, while also appealing his removal. Kilicdaroglu, meanwhile, is promising to restore order to the party and cleanse it of “corrupting forces”. The government insists the judiciary is independent and denies any political agenda. Erdogan has remained silent on the issue. Still, some observers see the opposition's upheaval as part of Erdogan's grander vision for Turkey's future. Political commentator Sezin Oney from independent Turkish media outlet Politikyol notes that Erdogan is eager to shape the post-Erdogan era. "He wants to design the succession, most probably to have a close family member replacing him. So he wants to shape the whole [political] terrain accordingly." 'Opposition psyche' Erdogan has ruled Turkish politics for almost 25 years, buoyed by both his political acumen and a fragmented opposition. But in the past year, Ozel's energetic leadership has powered over 100 mass rallies nationwide, even in Erdogan's strongholds, as Ozel taps into rising public frustration over crackdowns on dissent and skyrocketing food prices. The removal of Ozel as CHP leader is seen as a pivotal moment for Turkish democracy. “Turkey is moving closer to a Russia-style system where the leader decides who the opposition will be and ensures no real surprise can emerge at the ballot box,” predicts Tol. “Why is Erdogan taking such a massive political and economic risk? Erdogan knows he cannot win genuinely free and fair elections anymore." With Erdogan enjoying close ties with US President Donald Trump and the European Union increasingly looking to Turkey as a security partner, under the looming Russian threat, international reaction has been muted over the latest move against the opposition. Turkey steps up as Europe's indispensable and uncomfortable defence partner Speaking to tens of thousands of people at a rally in Izmir on Tuesday, Ozel vowed to escalate protests. Rumours are swirling that he could launch a new party. One opinion poll found only 11 percent of respondents approved of the removal of Ozel. Yet the legal noose appears to be tightening, with reports suggesting his parliamentary immunity could be stripped and that he may soon join other top party members behind bars. “We don't have the opposition in political representation form, but the people are there. The opposition psyche of the people is still there. So you cannot absolutely nullify the people or their political views,” said Oney. “We don't know what's going to come out of it. We can make predictions, but it's something totally novel and new in Turkey, and Turkish history as well."

Der Minister Amichai Elijahu der rechtsreligiösen Regierung in Israel, sieht es als eine Option, eine Atombombe über Gaza abzuwerfen. Nun darf er nicht mehr an Regierungssitzungen teilnehmen. Ist nun eine neue Eskalationsstufe erreicht? Weitere Themen sind: * Kemal Kilicdaroglu, der Vorsitzende der grössten Oppositionspartei CHP, war der Hoffnungsträger für viele Menschen in der Türkei. Er wollte bei den Wahlen im Mai Präsident Recep Tayyep Erdogan schlagen und unterlag. Jetzt wird er nach 13 Jahren auch als Parteichef abgesetzt. Wie konnte es so weit kommen? * In Frankreich muss Eric Dupond-Moretti vor Gericht. Das ist das erste Mal, dass ein amtierender Justizminister in Frankreich vor Gericht muss. Ihm werden Interessenskonflikte vorgeworfen. * Gestern waren in der Schweiz pink violette Polarlichter am Himmel zu beobachten. Ein Phänomen, das man sonst nur aus dem hohen Norden kennt. Was für ein Wetterphänomen steckt dahinter?

The results of Turkey's presidential election are finally in and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who had been forced into a runoff against his chief opponent, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, gets to keep his job as leader of NATO's most troublesome member.Were the elections free and fair? Meh, says Foreign Policy/Council on Foreign Relations expert Steven Cook. This week he joins us to wrap up one of the world's most anticipated elections—even if the suspense was never more than mild.Erdogan isn't either a benevolent dictator or a tyrant. He's an authoritarian of his own flavor—and at least 52 percent of Turks can't get enough of it. In the 20 years he's been in power, he's mostly been a man for his moment, mixing Islamist beliefs with strong ties to at least military modernity. Before the May 28 vote, the 69-year-old had won many elections—by a lot. He was a popular reformist mayor of Turkey's largest and most storied city, Istanbul. He did so well there that he and his Islamist Justice and Development Party, AKP, moved up to the national stage.So, Steven, what's next for Erdogan and the rest of the world that has to deal with him?Listen to the show to find out.Angry Planet has a Substack!

Recep Tayyip Erdogan a été réélu président de la Turquie. Pour son rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu, il s'agit de "l'un des scrutins les plus injustes de l'histoire du pays". La guerre des drones s'intensifie entre l'Ukraine et la Russie et plusieurs appareils se sont abattus sur des immeubles à Moscou. La Communauté politique européenne s'est réunie en Moldavie contre la Russie.

Artificial intelligence specialists and political scientists have warned about the use of AI-enabled generative tools that could sway the upcoming 2024 elections through the production and dissemination of synthetic images, video, and audio material known as “deep fakes” on social media. Evidence of AI meddling recently surfaced on May 14, 2023, during the Turkish presidential election, where several doctored videos of incumbent President Recep Erdoğan and challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu giving speeches appeared on social media.  To take a deeper dive, Salomon Montaguth is joined by Sonia Savci, an Intelligence Analyst here at the Counterterrorism Group, to try to get a deeper understanding of misinformation and deep fakes.  

Nato, Sweden, F16s, inflation and refugees. What do they all have in common? Erdogan and Turkey. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan won the run-off election on May 28, defeating Kemal Kilicdaroglu. On this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher unpacks everything that happened over the past few weeks and asks: what comes next?

Erdogan officially won re-election this past Sunday, defeating his opponent Kemal Kilicdaroglu by four percentage points in a runoff election that international observers noted was conducted on an unlevel playing field that “contributed to an unjustified advantage” for Erdogan. Expert Alan Makovsky joins Thanos Davelis to explore what we should now expect from a newly emboldened Erdogan on both the foreign and domestic front, from Turkey's relationship with the West and the US to his tightening grip on Turkish society.Alan Makovsky is a senior fellow for national security and international policy at the Center for American Progress, and has worked on Turkey and the region in several capacities, including as a senior staff member on the Committee on Foreign Affairs in the House of Representatives and at the State Department.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Decoding Erdogan: What to expect from a fresh term?Erdogan Won't Change, and Neither Should BidenWhy Did Erdogan Win?Greece seeking restart with TurkeyMitsotakis renews call for support in Crete campaign rallyTsipras calls for resilience and focus ahead of repeat election

Belgorod, Russia, near the border with Ukraine has been in the news all week long because of an incursion by two groups of fighters who described themselves as Russian, anti-Putin, with the aim of liberating Russia. France 24's Marc Perelman asked Ilya Ponomarev, a Russian dissident in exile and political representative of the Freedom of Russia Legion, if they got a green light from Ukraine to attack Belgorod.

This week Sinan Oğan, the nationalist “kingmaker” who came third in Turkey's elections, endorsed President Erdogan. Having won just over 5% of the vote in the first round, his voters could hold the key to victory on Sunday in Turkey's runoff for the presidency. In the meantime, Turkey's opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu is in the fight of his life, and the question remains whether he has a path to victory. Expert Sinan Ciddi joins Thanos Davelis to look at this latest development and how it could impact the election results. We also break down why Erdogan's better than expected showing in the first election caught Turkey observers by surprise, and what the Turkey-watching world should learn from this.Sinan Ciddi is a non-resident senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), where he contributes to FDD's Turkey Program and Center on Military and Political Power (CMPP).

New York and New Jersey are home to the largest Turkish communities in the U-S. This Sunday, Turks will vote in a runoff election between sitting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his opponent Kemal Kilicdaroglu. To get a sense of how Turks in the region are feeling about this important political moment, WNYC's Janae Pierre talked with Hafza Girdap, director of the group Advocates of Silenced Turkey.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu are in a tight race in the elections. Jailed Erdogan critics hope his defeat after nearly 20 years in power will give them their freedom. AKP supporters hope Erdogan will prevail.

Syria's Bashar al-Assad came out of the woodwork in Jeddah on the same day that Zelensky passed through, taking his plea for support for Kyiv to the Arab League. Also, Recep Tayyip Erdogan's re-election bid seems to be going to plan in Turkey, while his opponent Kemal Kilicdaroglu veers right in his rhetoric, hoping to reach new demographics. And in Greece, the conservative incumbent is talking about building walls to stop migrants, days before a snap election. Finally, here in France, a former Resistance fighter is telling a dark secret.

Hope, disappointment, joy and confusion are some of the emotions Turks felt after a rollercoaster election day.   In the vote on May 14, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan scored 49.51 per cent, just shy of the 50 per cent need for an outright victory, but 4.63 per cent ahead of his opponent, Kemal Kilicdaroglu.   Now they're heading for a decisive run-off vote on May 28. This week on Beyond the Headlines, Nada AlTaher talks about what's at stake.

When journalist Barak Ravid's book "Trump's Peace: the Abraham Accords and the Reshaping of the Middle East" was published in Hebrew in 2021, two words in his text made international headlines. Bitter about the Israeli Prime Minister's eagerness to congratulate President Joe Biden on his win, Trump said of Benjamin Netanyahu in their 90-minute interview for the book: "Fuck him," making a point of declaring "I haven't spoken to him since." In a conversation with Haaretz Weekly host Allison Kaplan Sommer, Ravid reports that two full years later, Trump and Netanyahu still haven't exchanged a word. On the occasion of the publication of his book in English - with new chapters updating the state of the Abraham Accords under the Biden administration, Ravid offers a look behind the scenes of his two lengthy interviews with Trump and how eager he was to express his unhappiness with Netanyahu's behavior. When Trump used the F-word, "It was at the end of a 20-minute monologue about all the bad things he thought about Netanyahu," Ravid shared, saying the interview revealed to him that the Trump-Netanyahu bromance "was like watching a show for four years. And then you realize that everything you saw was just BS, because the reality between those two was completely different." Also on this week's podcast, Haaretz English Editor in Chief Esther Solomon and correspondent Simon Waldman in Istanbul assess the political situation in Turkey after the election results leading to a second-round face-off for the presidency between incumbent Tayyip Erdogan and opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu. According to Waldman, the first round outcome is “the worst-case scenario” for the opposition.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chefe de Estado desde 2003 (quando a função ainda era desempenhada pelo primeiro-ministro), Recep Tayyip Erdogan saiu na frente na votação do domingo (14): com 49,51% dos votos válidos e maioria no Parlamento. Então favorito nas pesquisas e líder da coalização de seis partidos de oposição, Kemal Kilicdaroglu obteve 44,8% dos votos. Para analisar os rumos da democracia turca, e como ela reverbera na geopolítica global e no avanço da extrema-direita pelo mundo, Natuza Nery entrevista o economista Maurício Moura, sócio do fundo Zaftra e professor da Universidade George Washington, e Marina Slhessarenko Barreto, pesquisadora do Centro de Análise da Liberdade e do Autoritarismo e uma das autoras do livro “O caminho da autocracia: estratégias atuais de erosão democrática”. Neste episódio: - Depois de passar 10 dias na Turquia, Maurício relata o clima de “engajamento, polarização e tensão” em cidades pequenas e médias e em metrópoles como Istambul e Ancara. Lá, ele visitou comícios da situação e da oposição, onde foi detido por policiais: “Dá uma noção do clima tenso que envolve política na Turquia”; - O economista explica como a inflação galopante, que já superou os 80% ao mês, age como “principal cabo eleitoral da oposição” nesta eleição, em contraponto ao “domínio da máquina pública” pelo grupo político de Erdogan. E embora Kilicdaroglu tenha também o apoio majoritário dos empresários, ele aposta na vitória do atual presidente; - Marina avalia a “força persistente” de Erdogan, que elegeu maioria no Parlamento turco, e chega ao 2º turno com mais de 2,6 milhões de votos de vantagem. Ela conta como ele conseguiu superar uma tentativa de golpe de Estado e “transformar a Turquia de parlamentarista em presidencialista” para se manter no poder; - A pesquisadora comenta os movimentos de “experimentação e exportação transnacional” de tecnologia política entre a rede de países alinhados à extrema-direita global – caso de Turquia, Hungria, EUA (sob governo Trump) e Brasil (sob Bolsonaro). E destaca o aparelhamento da educação, do espaço cívico e da segurança pública como ferramentas de “autocratização”.

Turkey's presidential election appears to be headed for a runoff between President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his main opponent Kemal Kilicdaroglu. For the first time, the UN is holding a Nakba Day event to commemorate the displacement of Palestinians 75 years ago in Israel's founding war. And, the Republican supermajority in North Carolina vowed to override the governor's veto on a bill that would ban abortions after 12-weeks.

Turkey's presidential election is likely heading to a runoff on May 28th. Neither incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdogan – who's been in power for two decades – nor his rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, have cleared the 50% threshold to win. The results will determine if Turkey, a NATO ally, will continue its autocratic backslide, or take a more democratic path.Nearly two weeks after putting Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on a New York City subway train, Daniel Penny surrendered to police on Friday to face second-degree manslaughter charges. His arraignment came nearly two weeks after Neely's death, which sparked protests over the treatment of people struggling with homelessness and mental illness.And in headlines: Israel and Palestinian militants agreed to a ceasefire on Saturday, North Carolina's Governor Roy Cooper publicly vetoed a 12-week abortion ban, and Brittney Griner hit the court for the first time since her release from Russian custody last year.Show Notes:Brittany Packnett Cunningham: Jordan Neely Paid the Price for White Discomfort – https://www.thecut.com/2023/05/jordan-neely-paid-the-price-for-white-discomfort.htmlWhat A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastCrooked Coffee is officially here.

Contados mais de 97% das urnas abertas, o presidente Recep Tayyip Erdogan e o opositor Kemal Kilicdaroglu deverão se enfrentar no segundo turno das eleições na Turquia, em 28 de maio.  O atual presidente contabiliza 49,36% dos votos, enquanto seu principal adversário aparece com 44,96%, segundo dados da agência de notícias estatal Anadolu. A oposição contesta os números da agência estatal, controlada por Erdogan, e diz liderar a apuração. A agência privada Anka dá números ligeiramente diferentes. Essa já pode ser considerada a eleição mais acirrada do país em 20 anos, período em que o presidente esteve à frente do poder.

Turkey is heading  for a run-off vote after President Tayyip Erdogan led over his opposition rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu in Sunday's election but fell short of an outright majority to extend his 20-year rule of the NATO-member country. Neither Erdogan nor Kilicdaroglu cleared the 50% threshold needed to avoid a second round, to be held on May 28, in an election seen as a verdict on Erdogan's increasingly authoritarian path. KAN's Mark Weiss asked Dr Gabi Mitchell, a Policy Fellow at the Mitvim Institute, if Erdogan was the big winner from Sunday's vote.(Photo:Reuters)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan has spent nearly two decades at the top of Turkey's democracy – first as prime minister, now as president. On May 14, Turkey will head to the polls in the first round of the country's presidential elections, and it's highly contested after the last few years. As for his main challenger, opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu, he once won an award as Turkey's “bureaucrat of the year.” Now, he is the face of a broad coalition, representing everyone from right to left – all with the goal of turning the page on Erdogan's presidency. Will they succeed?  In this episode:  Sandra Gathmann (@sandragathmann) Presenter, Start Here For more:  Why the Turkish elections are a big test for Erdoğan – Start Here Episode credits: This episode was produced by Negin Owliaei with Sonia Bhagat and our host, Malika Bilal.

Turkey's presidential elections are upon us. President Erdogan has run the country for nearly 20 years, but his challenger, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, hopes to shake things up. This could very well be a turning point for Turkish politics. Full Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/zeihan/turkeys-presidential-elections

durée : 00:03:10 - Géopolitique - par : Pierre  Haski  - Une défaite du Président Erdogan face au candidat d'une coalition d'opposition, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, réjouirait tous ceux que le dirigeant turc a offensé ou raillé, y compris au sein de l'OTAN dont la Turquie est membre. Mais attention à ne pas l'enterrer trop vite.

A final rally for a nail-biting finish in Istanbul, back where he started out as mayor. Turkey's leader of two decades is trailing in the polls, but within the margin of error. Recep Tayep Erdogan is facing high inflation, the anger surrounding February's devastating earthquakes, and an opposition that has coalesced. His opponent, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, was boosted by the eleventh-hour withdrawal of 2018 runner-up Muharrem Ince, who ran as a third-party candidate, and who threw in the towel on Thursday.

Koketovanie s Ruskom, útočenie na Západ a menšiny či strašenie teroristami. Kampaň pred nedeľnými voľbami v Turecku je v plnom prúde a dlhoročný líder Recep Tayyip Erdogan sa snaží prekričať zlú sociálnu situáciu v krajine či nezvládnutú pomoc pri ničivom zemetrasení populistickou až nenávistnou rétorikou. Vyjde mu to? Alebo sa novým prezidentom stane opozičný politik Kemal Kilicdaroglu, ktorý vedie v prieskumoch? A čo by jeho víťazstvo znamenalo pre Turecko?

For the first time in his 20 years in power Erdogan is facing serious pressure - and the choice voters make in this month's presidential election could define Turkey's destiny for decades. The impact of February's 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's future?

Turkey's longtime leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan is facing what many describe as his toughest election yet. On Sunday, May 14th polls will open for presidential and parliamentary elections, and amid a dire economic crisis in the country, his prospects are in doubt. His leading rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu is a mild-mannered and bookish elderly lawmaker who is presenting himself as a man of the people, and the polar opposite to the incumbent. Unlike Erdogan - the poster boy for populist politics - who has shunned closer ties with the European Union and the West and courted Vladimir Putin, Kilicdaroglu could lead Turkey in a different direction. As one of the mightiest armies in NATO, straddling Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, Turkey is a strategically important nation, and how the country votes could have implications for us all. One Decision's Julia Macfarlane and Sir Richard Dearlove, along with the former United States Ambassador to Turkey David Satterfield and Turkish academic and author Gonul Tol discuss what's at stake.  International Intrigue is a

Could an eleventh-hour surprise swing Sunday's elections in Turkey?

Until a few months ago, the Turkey presidential election looked like a one-man race for strongman President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has done much to consolidate his hold on the country. Enter opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu, whose promise of democracy has placed him in dead heat with Erdogan in opinion polls. In Ep 1227 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta explains why this election matters so much for the world, and India. 

After 20 years in power, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan faces a tough reelection on May 14. High inflation and an earthquake that killed more than 50,000 people have created a political opening for opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu. What are the dynamics shaping this election? And what would a change of leadership in Ankara mean for the world? Host Ravi Agrawal is joined by FP columnist Steven Cook and Gonul Tol, author of Erdogan's War.

It's local election day in England and while people are voting broadcasters aren't allowed to report details of campaigning or election issues… so we're going global. By that we mean Turkey, Sudan, Moscow and the West Bank. The BBC's Orla Guerin has interviewed Turkish opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu ahead of presidential elections there, Lyse Doucet has been reporting on Sudan, and Jeremy Bowen has just got back from Jerusalem. But why are there restrictions on UK broadcasters on local election day? Adam also speaks to the BBC chief politics advisor for the lowdown. Today's Newscast was presented by Adam Fleming. It was made by Chris Flynn with Cecelia Armstrong and Jack Taylor. The technical producer was Dafydd Evans. The assistant editor is Alison Gee. The editor is Sam Bonham.

Despite being a NATO member, Turkey has stayed neutral in the war in Ukraine and continues to block Sweden's accession to the alliance. Yet, Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is better known domestically for his economic mismanagement and shoddy response to the earthquake that killed 60,000 people in February than his government's increasingly aggressive international strategy. Presidential and parliamentary elections on 14 May could even raise the prospect of a Turkey without Erdogan. In this episode, Mark Leonard welcomes ECFR's research director Jeremy Shapiro and associate senior policy fellow Asli Aydintasbas who have just published a commentary on how the West should prepare for the Turkish elections. Can the opposition unity candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu pull off a victory? What would a post-Erdogan EU-Turkey relationship look like? And could Turkey's EU accession negotiations restart?

What to expect when the most powerful person in the world announces he's running for re-election and he's already a record-breaking 80 years old? Turkey's president also drew attention to his health this week. We also ask our Friday panel of journalists whether a wolf warrior diplomat's pronouncements in Paris may have unwittingly forced China's president to pick up the phone and speak with his UkraInian counterpart for the first time since the start of the all-out Russian invasion.

What will the impact on Turkey's foreign policy be should Kemal Kilicdaroglu and the Turkish opposition manage to unseat President Erdogan in the upcoming elections in May? Some observers envision a quick reversal of Erdogan's anti-Western approach, while others warn that we might see a striking degree of continuity. A look at the opposition's record and platform suggests something in between given its stated goals of improving relations with the West while simultaneously continuing to pursue a more independent foreign policy.

On Monday Turkey's six-party opposition threw their support behind Turkish opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu as the main challenger to President Erdogan in landmark elections expected on May 14. This decision came after an intense few days that saw Meral Aksener - the leader of the second largest party in the coalition - splinter the opposition after publicly opposing Kilicdaroglu's candidacy. The opposition bloc was reunited Monday after a last minute deal.
