Dhe Türkiye is electing a new president – and the world is watching closely. Because the country is a NATO member and plays a central role on the world stage, not only in overcoming the migration crisis, but also as a possible mediator in the Ukraine war.
But how will President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is in poor health, react if he loses after 20 years in power? Will the elections that begin on May 14 be free and fair at all? Is there a risk of escalation in Turkey? And how should the West position itself?
