I have a question. What exactly are the supporters of Erdogan supporting him for in this election? Is it because he is against terrorist organizations like FETO, Hezbollah, and PKK? Is it because of his nationalism? Is it because they support his immigration policy? Is it because they are satisfied with him on economic matters? Is it because he is Islamist? Is it for the defense industry? Is it because of the bridges and roads he has built?
The reason I ask these questions is as follows: Erdogan and the AK Party had previously cooperated directly with FETO and PKK. Now it seems they are also in cooperation with Hezbollah via Hüda Par. Regarding nationalism, Erdogan himself once said, 'I have trampled on all kinds of nationalism.' Furthermore, the party he is currently cooperating with, Huda-Par, has an aversion even to the word 'Turk'. Although the economy used to be good, there has been extreme inflation in recent years, and people's purchasing power has significantly decreased. In this regard, immigrants also play a significant role.
However, despite the fact that Erdogan has made significant mistakes and contradictory statements on many of these issues, I have observed the strange phenomenon that the majority (or at least a significant portion) of Erdogan's supporters seem to pretend that Erdogan is faultless on most of these issues, or at least believe he is far better than his alternatives. And These are the only fundamental issues that voters consider when making decisions in Turkey. I am certain that the people here may have seen many of AKP's mistakes in various other areas.
