Erdogan's Political Survival at Stake Amid Health Concerns and Tight Race.

Turkish President Erdogan suspends election campaign events after falling ill during a live television interview. The high-stakes Turkish election is expected to come down to the wire between Erdogan and his social democratic Republican People’s Party competitor Kemal Kilicdaroglu. If Kilicdaroglu wins, it would have far-reaching implications for U.S. foreign policy interests. However, questions remain about a new Turkish policy to the Syrian dictatorship of President Bashar Assad and whether Erdogan’s autocratic-style of leadership will permit a free and fair election.
