Will Erdogan change his course after winning the Turkish elections?
The end of the Turkish presidential election was a valuable achievement and a golden result for Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his executive and party team. Because he was able to become president for the third time by winning 52% of the people’s votes. And that is in a special political-executive system called the presidential system in which the president has broad powers without supervision and is not accountable to anyone.
Although Erdogan’s critics and opponents promised to dissolve the presidential system soon after coming to power, they did not achieve their wish and Turkey will continue to be governed in a presidential manner, and Erdogan, in addition to making sensitive decisions related to governance and Domestic policy issues will have the first and last word in the field of foreign policy as well.
Therefore, now that Erdogan is in power for another 5 years, everyone wants to know if he is looking for changes and reforms or if he will move on the same path as before.
It is important to raise questions about the future course of Erdoğan’s decisions and actions because, in addition to the economic crisis, Turkey is already facing major and minor problems internally and economically, and economic analysts believe that if the current policy and procedure continues; Turkish people will be in a more difficult situation.
What did people vote for?
One of the obvious and logical interpretations and evaluations about the results of yesterday’s elections in Turkey is that 52 percent of the voters did not agree to vote for the reform programs of the opposition and came to the conclusion that they should continue with Erdogan.
This means that there is no special pressure on Erdogan and his team to change everything at once. It is enough to make changes only in the economic field and salary increase. If there are no legal, political and governance issues, there is no request from Erdogan’s supporters for change and reform, nor has Erdogan himself made such a promise.
In other words, in the field of domestic politics, the door will turn on the same heel as before and there is no reason for extensive reforms.
