What Turkey’s Elections Will NOT Change | Middle East Forum
Regardless of how Turks vote in snap polls on Nov. 1, there are a few certainties: a) The Islamist Justice and Development Party (AKP), founded by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in 2001 and now run by his prime minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, will lead the election results; b) Turkey’s unpleasant polarization along religious-secular and ethnic Turkish-Kurdish lines will deepen; c) Turkey’s self-ridiculing Islamist polity will mostly remain in place; and d) The AKP will either rule in a single-party government or have to share power in a coalition alliance; but it will not disappear. All this is because of the personal ambitions of one man: Erdogan.
