Ertugrul Ozkok:We are today as we were yesterday: A family of 70 million - Hürriyet

"Ertugrul Ozkok:We are today as we were yesterday: A family of 70 million

I am trying to put myself in Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's place, imagining what he must be feeling right now. For days it was being written that 'the presidential election process was directed very badly.' In fact, some of those same writings indicated that the political price would be very high for the bad direction of the elections. Former president Suleyman Demirel used to say this: 'Nothing can hold the place of a victory.' When we look at the election results, we see a very real and clear 'political victory' in the open. And where there is victory, it means there were successful roads leading towards that victory. This is no doubt what Erdogan was thinking yesterday evening."
