    HDP/DEM strategy revolves around being a key political party and a kingmaker if possible. HDP/DEM party tries to maximize its gains between AKP and CHP depending on the conjuncture and what is offered to HDP/DEM for its support.

    It is not outdated. It is the requirement set by the Airforce. It is like a baseline. No one is stopping TAI from delivering a better product.
