Over the past two months, the world has seen a relatively strange picture.A gentle Rajab Tayyab Ardawan.He is happy to embrace Israel, announce Turkey's future in the European Union (EU).Talk to the Saudi king on the phone and end the blockade against Qatar, even against his favorite enemy, the Syrian president.Ready to bite Bashar al-Assad In preparation for the new US administration.Erdogan is trying to play well with those around him.
Elections 2023 in Turkey :
Meanwhile, he is also visiting senior officials from smaller opposition parties to strengthen the coalition for the 2023 elections.Tthe Justice and Development Party (AKP) has so far insisted on holding elections for the presidency and Parliament will be on schedule in 2023.
Erdogan and His Allies:
Erdogan, meanwhile, is not hiding his willingness to expand the electoral alliance.In order to get 51% of the vote in the new system created by his own administration.He will have to look for new political allies, but the share of their votes can be just as important.Erdogan and his allies are also considering changing the current election rules to keep up the momentum.
The chairman of the CHP, Kamil Kilkdaruluglu, called Erdogan the "so-called president" in a speech.His goal was to show that Erdogan, despite being sworn in as Turkish president, still holds the post of AKP chairman.
Erdogan was angry at the phrase "so-called".For weeks, he and his deputies criticized Clicardoglu for disrespecting the will of the nation.Finally, Erdogan's lawyers filed a lawsuit against Kilkdaruglu for 1 million lira in damages.
Bogazy University Istanbul:
During the demonstrations at Bogazy University, CHP's Istanbul Chair, Cannon Kaftansiglo, was present to support the students.Erdogan was furious and claimed to belong to a terrorist group.He called the protesters "terrorists, not students" at the college.
Investigations Against HDP :
Following the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights, Erdogan reiterated his reference to jailed HDP chairman Shelton Demirtas as a terrorist.These allegations are not just words.Further investigations against HDP deputies erupted in December and January.
Today, all members of the HDP are being investigated.The next step is to remove the legislator's immunity.Which will pave the way for litigation and then possibly imprisonment.
Why was Erdogan incited against so many groups in Turkey?
"Of course, the AKP and the MHP fear that they will miss out on this historic opportunity to realize their counter-revolution,".
Baskin Orin, a professor of international relations at Ankara University, told Al Monitor.Erdogan is angry partly because it is his nature, partly because he needs to show that determination to retain his supporters.
Based on my conversations with Oren and other scholars.There are three main reasons behind Erdogan's gradual anger.
Erdogan Supporters Parties:
Erdogan won the presidency in 2018 with the support of ultra-nationalists and other small right-wing parties.Since then, its popularity has been steadily declining.Kamil Ozkiraz, director of the Eurasia Public Opinion Research Center, published his agency's first 2021 results on January 14.
Ozkirs' detailed report, like others, highlights that although Erdogan has the upper hand over political party leaders.He has two mayors ahead of Erdogan.One is the mayor of Ankara, Mansour Yavas.The other is Istanbul Mayor Ikrim Imamoglu
Meanwhile, Erdogan has once again started calling several groups "terrorists".As he did before the local elections in March 2019 and the national elections in June 2018.This time the target is the second and third largest political parties and their members.
