Istanbul Correspondence - "Target 2023", proclaim the giant portraits of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, plastered all over the country for parliamentary elections on June 12 The Turkish prime minister is already facing the centenary of the Republic founded by Mustafa Kemal and cares little about the outcome of Sunday.
The renewal of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), in power since 2002, is already acquired.

It seems that indeed the model that seeks to promote the AKP is a cocktail of religious conservatism and economic liberalism. But the comparison stops there. Today, since the last legislative elections, the authoritarian tendencies of the Prime Minister took over, and the Kemalist opposition began its renovation.
