COMMENTARY: Is Turkey heading for snap elections

Atilla YeşiladaPosted on

This Real Turkey Channel video broadcast tries to explain why suddenly Turkish pundits began suspecting snap elections towards the end of the year. After all, President Erdogan has three more years in the office and recent polls are not kind to him.  The broadcast points to two newly-founded off-shoots from AK Party, namely DEVA and Future Parties, which are gradually rising in the polls.  It also attempts to understand Erdogan’s grand strategy.
