The Unstoppable Rise of Erdogan's Nationalism in Turkey's Elections.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan won the parliamentary elections, which were seen as a referendum on his rule, with a stunning 92% turnout. Erdogan has been in power for two decades and controls all media and state institutions. Despite Turkey's economic crisis, Erdogan's party maintained power in Parliament, and he is expected to win the upcoming runoff election. Erdogan's longevity can be attributed to his creation of a wealthy business class that benefits from his rule, his ability to distribute money through religious charity networks, and his consolidation of power by cracking down on opposition.
