“ERDOGAN MAY NEED”
In announcing the AKP’s alliance with the HUDA-PAR and Re-Wealth parties to his readers, Bloomberg used the headline “Erdogan looks to Islamist front to strengthen electoral alliance.” Noting that the AKP is meeting with both parties, “Erdogan is facing the most complete opposition coalition in the elections to be held on May 14. President Erdogan seeks the support of large and small Islamist parties and seeks to broaden his conservative base, risking culture clashes over religion and women’s rights with the secular opposition.
The Bloomberg report said: “Erdogan may need your votes to defeat the opposition bloc, which embraces the broader, secular Republican values and criticizes violence against women and LGBTQ communities, on May 14.” On the other hand, it was recalled that Turkey left the Istanbul Convention in 2021.
