Erdogan Secures Victory in Turkish Election, Extends Authoritarian Rule Into Third Decade Amid Economic Turmoil
- Erdogan won a close presidential runoff, giving him five more years of power to pursue increasingly authoritarian policies.
- Erdogan's victory exacerbates concerns about Turkey's democracy as he dismantles democratic institutions and cracks down on dissent.
- Erdogan faces significant economic challenges, including 44% inflation, pressure to repatriate millions of Syrian refugees, and rebuilding from a devastating earthquake.
- Erdogan's rule has strained Turkey's relations with Western allies, and he aims to assert Turkish power on the global stage through military interventions and weapons deals.
- The election served as a referendum on Erdogan's vision for Turkey's political and cultural identity, and his victory cements the country's increasing conservatism and nationalism.
