’s main leaders, Binali Yildirim, a former prime minister. He did so not just once, but twice. On election night, just as Mr Imamoglu was poised to overtake his rival, the state news agency suddenly stopped updating the vote tally. Overnight large banners proclaiming Mr Yildirim’s victory went up across Istanbul. But by the time the vote count had ended, Mr Imamoglu was ahead by over 13,000 votes.
So far, the pessimists seem to be winning the argument. On December 14th, in what many critics saw as a verdict handed directly from Mr Erdogan’s palace, a court in Istanbul sentenced Mr Imamoglu to over two years in prison and banned him from politics, pending an appeal. His crime was to have referred to the election officials who had briefly stripped him of victory in Istanbul as “idiots”.
Yet Turkey is not a dictatorship. Elections are more like a football match in which one team has eleven players, the other eight, and the referee generally sides with the bigger team, says Berk Esen, an academic at Sabanci University. But the smaller team, assuming it has the better players and the right strategy, can still play to win, he suggests.
İngiliz ekonomi dergi paçavrası Erdoğan'ın aleyhine karapropaganda yapıyor ve saat başı tweet atıyor. Güleyim bari 😄 Erdoğan'a oy vereceğiz ve onu tekrar başkan seçeceğiz. OK? 😁
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
I understand that your aim is to prevent Türkiye's growing, but you won't succeed. I don't take you seriously and I won't answer you anymore because you've lost your credibility.🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Saat başı .bir Türkiye twitti atıyorsunuz ,izlemeye devam edin
You need to define your version of democracy.
More like test Turkey's theocratic credentials. Turkey wasn't, isn't and for a long long time won't be a democracy
When will you abolish the monarchy
💢Size mi kaldı benim ülkemin durumu siz kendi ekmeğini yediğiniz ülkeniz için yorum yapın. ❓🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Resimde de destekledikleri partiyi net olarak açıklamışlar
Sizin tek derdiniz TÜRKİYE mi
The Economist is still just a hypocrisy, and it is certain to remain that way.
Halkın iradesi %58 Recep Tayyip Erdoğan diyor.! Siz kim Türkiye'nin itibarını test etmek kim?
20 years of democracy wants to be put to the test I guess democracy will not come to our country until your puppets come to power 🤣
UK comedy democracy? May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak!! 4 doesn't make even one! What a democracy!
Who says? Who decides? Who the hell u think you are to say this?
Mexico “hold my beer”! 🤦🏻 amloverguenzamundial
There was never democracy in Turkey the Turkish People think that the Republic is Democracy.
Democracy in Turkey ended in 2018. As in Russia, elections there are now just for show.
la oğlum işinize bakın
Erdogan is a dictator and an evil
A democracy under the fist of Erdogan ? Well ... that's an optimistic point of view
I just wish The Economist was an economy magazine, but it isn't.
Is democracy really important to you?
It's not certain the United States will remain a democracy.
we know very well what your democracy is. !! NED !!
you will not succeed!!
you will not win !!
Bu da size kapak olsun.
Size ne lan bizim ülkenin seçimleri. Size giren çıkan mı var.şeref yoksunları.siz kendi ülkenizin pislikleriyle uğraşın. Emperyalist ve sömürgeci ülkenin uşakları.
Erdogan fixed the last 2 elections… “democracy”
I guess the Turks don't really pay attention to your bullshit anymore.
Don't worry, I don't think there is as much freedom and democracy in the world as in this country.
You are the so-called economy page, but there are all kinds of political manipulations.
Ingiltere de çok demokrasi var da fazlasını bize mi veriyorsunuz sömürgeci alçaklar. Topunuz gelin.
You must call us Turkiye! We will teach you day by day.
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Syria after you brought it democracy
Üzmeyin az kendinizi, kendi işinize bakın, pis ellerinizi Türkiye’den uzak tutun. Erdoğan var sorun yok
when sum are lead by sum with religion ahead, this is bound to happen.
Fraud and gerrymander and much more
siyasi parti misin, basın mı? yoksa bir monarşinin koca ağzı mı?
I still remember the USofA takes one whole week to count their votes! Better fix that first before lecturing others on their democracy... 🙄
😎😎😎
Everybody take care! You are sending these tweets, but I do not take them into account when making my decision.
Well Demirtaş sitting in prison for nothing and lot of others too somehow economist talk about democracy...
👊👊👊
Number one⤵️ Recep Tayyip Erdoğan 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
yes, because you believe what the dissents said are true. then why don't you believe what trump said?
Go home, The EcoPaganist! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ * Write something about the USA and why your Masters in Pentagon don't allow fair and transparent election there, you damn SorosColonialPaper!!!
Whose voice is this newspaper? I think it can be a newspaper or voice-over of a country that exploits every part of the world.
Dikkat ! Dergi kasıtlı şekilde gerçek dışı yayınlar yapmaktadır. TÜRKİYE DEMOKRATİK BİR ÜLKEDİR. SEÇİMLER DEMOKRATİK ŞEKİLDE GERÇEKLEŞMEKTEDİR.
Türkiye demokratik bir ülkedir ve seçimler özgür irade ile yapılır. Halkın oyu ile iktidara gelenler,yine halkın oyu ile giderler.Karar sadece Türk milletinindir. Dergi, bilinçli olarak gerçek dışı ve hayali yazılar yayınlamakta ve başka merkezler tarafından yönlendirilmektedir.
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan 👏👏👏🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Avrupa sizin nerenize ne sokmuşuz bilmiyorum ama baya sağlam sokmuşuz
What is the reason for your ulterior motive towards the Turks?
Erdoğan balkon konuşmasını tekrar yapacak. Bu arada Türkiye'de ki seçimler diğer ülkelerden gelen gözlemciler ve her partinin görevlendirdiği gözlemciler vardır. Kısacası Erdoğan'ı sandıkta tek kişi temsil ederken muhalefeti 12 kişi temsil ediyor. Buna rağmen Erdoğan kazanıyor.
Examine your own elections, first of all, they should evaluate the western election participation rates, people do not go to vote because their votes are meaningless, isn't this the biggest way of stealing votes?
Blah blah blah democracy is under attack worldwide. Same old rhetoric for the plebs. Let me guess, only democrats and liberals can save the world from the evil that they can’t prove. Am I getting warm?
Like that of Uk where royal family can't pay tax while tax payers suffer
A 'democracy' 🤣🤣🤣
Do not dream in vain, you will not be able to manipulate the elections in our country. It's always democracy that wins, it's always the people We are not ruled by royalty
Where were you untill today?
How do we actually know? After all, you guys lie for the Democrats like the worst thieves in the history of the planet.
take a seat and relax baby !!😌
Erdogan has always been president with democracy and popular vote. Only fools believe your manipulations.
All very questionable..
Democracy leads to dictatorship that’s why our founders created a constitutional republic . Something the left denies in this country.
Size ne benim Ülkemden ! Size seve seve TÜRKÇE öğreteceğiz TÜRKİYE dünyaya hükmedecek Son çırpınışlarınız !
This article is telling me that Türkiye (not Turkey, you ignorant) will not be democracy if Erdoğan wins elections. This is a lie. This is disinformation at highest level. Türkiye is and will always be a democracy. And I am the most important voter in 2023. Who are you? 🧿🇹🇷
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, founder of the Turkish Republic should have been mentioned in this article! his secular and progressive philosophy and vision is still a strong guiding source for more than half of the voters in Turkey. It will put the country back on the democracy track
What the Erdogan diplomacy is doing in the region and the world needs international praise, and I do not know what the world would be like now had it not been for the presence of modern Turkish diplomacy led by Erdogan
