The questions of God and identity will help Erdoğan in Sunday's elections - Steven Cook
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has put his efforts on the questions of God and identity politics to secure another victory on Sunday, Steven Cook, senior fellow with the Council On Foreign Relations in Washington DC, told Ahval Podcast.
Cook predicted an extended crisis in Turkey following the country’s local elections.
Turkey’s economy is probably going through the worst recession since Turkey’s strongman Erdogan came to the power in 2002, Cook said, noting that despite the fact ''Erdoğan has all the reasons to be scared for this election”, opposition parties appear to be weak, divided and ineffective.
