Turkey's state TV, TRT, reported that incumbent Erdogan was assured of victory in the run-off election in the presidential election held on the 28th.
Mr. Erdogan, who has been in power for 20 years, is expected to continue to lead Turkey.
Erdogan's 20-year administration: Economy, diplomacy and security...
Under the Erdogan administration for 20 years, including his time as prime minister, Turkey actively attracted foreign capital by promoting urban development and infrastructure development, and achieved record economic development, with GDP per capita almost tripled in the first six years.
On the other hand, in recent years, Mr. Erdogan's belief that "high interest rates cool the economy" has led to a reduction in policy interest rates, and in October last year, inflation exceeded 1% compared to the same month last year.
Prices of food and other products have jumped, and the lira has become half the value of the dollar in the past two years, which has had a major impact on citizens' lives.
In terms of diplomacy, while NATO = Japan is a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, it is promoting its own balanced diplomacy, such as suggesting that it will join the Shanghai Cooperation Organization led by China and Russia.
In particular, with regard to Ukraine, where Russia's military invasion continues, we have increased our presence by working with the United Nations to realize the resumption of exports of Ukrainian agricultural products.
On the other hand, with regard to Sweden, which has applied to join NATO, Turkey has shown a stance of not giving up a single step, saying that it will not accept it unless it stops supporting Kurdish armed groups that advocate separatism from Turkey, and membership has not yet been realized.
Twenty years ago, Mr. Erdogan publicly stated that he would aim to join the EU = European Union, but there are conflicts with Western countries that point out the strengthening of the government, and the path to membership is still not in sight.
