Erdoğan doit faire face à plusieurs problèmes qui ont récemment affaibli son parti, tant sur le plan national qu’international. Une coalition de l’opposition en Turquie pourrait-elle le défier?
Turkey’s June 24 elections are the first in 16 years that could be politically meaningful. Opposition parties seem revitalised and could launch anti-Erdoğan coalition into the second round.
Other regions may be helpful to Erdoğan for a short time, but they cannot substitute the economic and political contributions Turkey requires of Europe.
Experts agree that Turkey is even further polarised after contested unofficial results show President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has won the right to expand his powers.
Turkey’s referendum could lead to a tremendous change in the country’s political development, leading to an extremely autocratic regime.
The religious arm of Turkey’s government, Dinayet, has European authorities up in arms after leaked documents suggested the agency was engaged in international espionage.
Welcome to ‘Erdoğanistan’, where the government knows how to change a newspaper’s tune.
With a deadly bombing in Istanbul and a furious roundup of dissident academics, the atmosphere in Turkey is as poisonous as ever.
After being humiliated at a summer election, Turkey’s ruling party set about winning over the population with fear. It seems to have worked.
Turkey’s political factions, hardly friends at the best of times, are more divided and mutually suspicious than ever.
Can the left-wing HDP cross Turkey’s electoral threshold to transform the nation’s parliament?
