Erdogan analysis of the British newspaper The Observer: He seems more fragile

The Observer newspaper, the sister company of the British newspaper The Guardian and published on Sundays, published a full article on the May 14 election.

In the editorialized analysis, the title “The Observer Turkey Comment: Erdoğan seems more fragile” was used.

“LOOKED WEAK”

In the analysis, “President Erdogan looked a bit weak when he fell ill during this week’s live broadcast. Erdogan, who has been in power for 20 years as prime minister and president, has carefully created the image of a tough and indestructible leader. But suddenly he seemed fragile. The ministers said that his illness was a stomach cold and he continued the demonstrations on Saturday ”.

Erdogan disease was examined in the analysis.

The article states that “Erdogan’s extraordinary fall behind his rival Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu in the polls is a sign that the political terrain has changed. Experts say the AKP and MHP may lose their majority in parliament after Istanbul and Ankara’s defeats in local elections. While HDP leader Selahattin Demirtaş’s declaration of support for the opposition bloc was claimed to be of vital importance, it was also noted that Kurdish voters accounted for one-fifth of the electorate.

“THE MOST IMPORTANT CHOICE IS THE ECONOMY”

Although it was stated that one of the most important issues of the elections was the economy, it was reported that the government’s intervention in the February earthquakes also fired arrows of criticism. It was pointed out that Erdogan took responsibility for the country’s problems by seizing all the powers.

“In the international arena, Erdogan has often angered friends and allies with Turkey’s operations in Syria and Iraq, its support for Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Sweden’s rejection of NATO membership. Foreign governments do not have the right to vote. But there are Turkish people. It is time to change”.

WHAT HAPPENED LIVE?

Although the broadcast, which was announced to start at 10:00 p.m. last night, began at 11:30 p.m., the broadcast was cut off while Erdogan was evaluating the schedule on the live broadcast.

At the time, Ülke TV editor-in-chief Hasan Öztürk called the director an ‘ad’ and tried to stand up.

At that moment, the sound of ‘oh, ow’ was reflected on the screen and the program was cut before the cameras showed Erdoğan.

The program resumed after a break of about 20 minutes.

Regarding his illness, Erdogan said: “First of all, of course, good luck, there was intense campaign work yesterday and today, and I had a serious cold due to this campaign work. I even thought that if we cancel the program for “For a while, it would be misunderstood. I said, now we promised that we will go. Of course, we come across such situations from time to time in this busy work. I wish you and our audience the best of luck,” he said.

After Erdogan was on the air for about 12 more minutes, the show ended.

At the end of the program, Erdogan said: “Above all I apologize to all my citizens who are watching us on their screens.”
