“He [Erdogan] would contest the results if they aren't in his favour and if the margin is narrow, but he can't do much if the opposition gets a landslide victory. He is at the weakest point in his political career.”

“Erdogan wants a green light for a military operation in Syria. As we saw at the Tehran summit, Iran and Russia are against this operation but I think Erdogan can persuade Putin. Many things depend on the domestic situation in Turkey because Erdogan wants to launch the operation before the elections so he can consolidate at least a few percentage points in the vote.”

“It is important to interpret Putin and Erdogan's trip to Iran within the context of increased East-West bifurcation following the Ukraine war. As the war rages and Russia's economy has taken a hit from Western sanctions, Moscow seeks stronger ties with non-Western countries that do not support the measures. There is a strong message being sent to Washington about Moscow, Tehran, and Ankara's desires to work together without US policies, positions, and agendas being imposed on them.”

“The next step is likely to be a flurry of behind-the-scenes diplomacy, and international pressure, to convince Turkey to quickly remove the roadblock. Sweden and Finland will seek to placate Turkey, but we can also expect the US and the EU to play a leading role in this pressure campaign. After all, both have some leverage over Turkey, be it through [Washington's] sale of military equipment or the [EU's] provision of aid as part of the 2016 migration deal. The most likely outcome remains Finland and Sweden joining the alliance very soon. Erdogan is a transactional leader, and the costs of blocking the two Nordic countries - deeply angering Western allies - would far outweigh the benefits in terms of domestic support. Erdogan also briefly blocked in 2009 the nomination of Anders Fogh Rasmussen as NATO's secretary-general, before relenting after receiving a prize in a high-level appointment for a Turkish official in the alliance. Since the rest of the alliance is welcoming Finland and Sweden with open arms, there is clear political will to overcome this temporary roadblock.”

“Turkey has every right to block Sweden and Finland's ascension to NATO. However, such a position would be costly as NATO members would likely approach Turkey as a problem child moving forward. It is hard to see Turkey's future position since it is mostly based on domestic political developments. We should remember that Erdogan has been doing these policy changes to win the next election.”

“Turkey and Ukraine were enjoying good and friendly relations before the war. Turkey has strongly supported Ukrainian independence in the 1990s. After its independence, they worked closely to establish a stable environment in the Black Sea [through] economic and military cooperation. Turkey has been playing an active role with its drones, and eight trucks of humanitarian aid have been delivered to local authorities in Ukraine and neighbouring Moldova. Furthermore, in an hourlong call with Moscow [last] Sunday, Erdogan appealed for an urgent general ceasefire. On the fifth day of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, Erdogan, one more time, repeated that Turkey could not abandon its ties with Russia or Ukraine. Turkey is still trying to perpetuate the balance-based policy, which does not mean that Turkey has been establishing its policies without a dilemma. Instead, Turkey has been in a stuck position between Russia and the West regarding security, economy, and energy.”

“He [Erdogan] would ask Putin to give a chance to a ceasefire, stop his attacks, and help set up corridors needed for evacuations of civilians and shipments of aid. We are focusing on what steps we can take here to bring the sides to the negotiating table and to convince the Russian side (to stop). It is important that Moscow had a reliable counterpart to talk to as the West had burned bridges with it. This network of trust (with Russia) must absolutely be kept open for these talks, diplomacy to succeed. Otherwise it will be impossible for the whole region, including Russia and Ukraine, to escape from this destruction.”

“Politics is for serving the citizens and solving the problems of citizens. Unfortunately, the palace [of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan] forgot both the citizens and their problems. Citizens are imprisoned by poverty. The government continuously increases prices of almost everything, including electricity, gas, petroleum, taxes and fees. The high cost of living is making citizens poorer.”

“We live with inflation in Turkey. The biggest components of what we spend money on are food, rent, and transportation, and these are the kind of prices the average consumer faces on a daily or monthly basis. So if you are lying to them, it's very obvious. It undermines trust in Erdogan and the AKP. Turkish public's perceptions of inflation can also drive prices higher. If people think inflation is close to 100 percent, anyone who has any bargaining ability, say in paying salaries or wages, or the prices they charge, pretends inflation is 100 percent. So going forward, that is a disastrous situation.”

“Erdogan is already following election politics by raising citizens' purchasing power. To stop the bleeding, he practically indexed the value of bank accounts in domestic currency to the dollar. These are all aimed at creating positive momentum before he calls early elections.”

“The decisions have ... given the impression that the AK Party and Erdogan are excellent managers of the economy. For Erdogan, a 'last minute' success story emerges before every election.

“Orthodox theory recommends a tight monetary policy that will mitigate inflation by moderating domestic demand. In Turkey, by contrast, under the guidance of the presidency, the CBTR [Central Bank of Turkey] is pursuing a loose monetary and credit policy to boost economic growth, which Erdoğan needs desperately. He is concerned that higher interest rates will slow down the economy and fuel voter discontent in the run-up to the elections in 2023. He has therefore pushed the CBTR to cut rates in the hope that cheaper credit will stimulate the economy and improve his popular support.”

“The assumptions in this new 'model,' if we can call it that, are wrong. They are assuming lowering interest rates would lead to high exchange rates, and the Turkish lira would devalue, depreciate, and then Turkish goods and services will become cheaper in terms of our trade partners' currency. Erdogan is assuming that the subsequent boost to Turkish exports would eventually lead to the lira recovering its value. But that's a strange relationship. It does not work that way.”
