Editor’s Note: A version of this story first appeared in CNN’s Meanwhile in the Middle East newsletter, a three-times-a-week look inside the region’s biggest stories. Sign up here. The poll, which is expected May 14, takes place amid the most serious collision between Russia and the West since the end of the Cold War. And Russia’s war on Ukraine has seen Turkey’s foreign influence grow to a level that has become an annoyance for some and useful for others.

The West Western states would be glad to see a post-Erdogan Turkey, according to analysts. The United States and the European Union have struggled with the Turkish leader as he continues to stand in the way of Finland and Sweden’s accession to NATO and continues to cooperate with Russia.

They love him okay not everybody should adopt the American system where polygamy is not good but gay and lesbian is

He loves the legacies of Gaddafi but support his murder. Are there no other smart citizens in Turkey that Erdogan thinks he is the only one? He has killed and intimidated every opposing voice. Same approach with Gaddafi but different faces.

The people of Türkiye have the democratic right to freely choose their President without interference from the US and Europe.

I hope he comes to power again

That country is under authoritarian control. Tell it how it is!

Türkiye not Turkey!!!

I never thought I’d say it, but I miss the days when the Turkish people were bonkers for Ataturk and would just brigade online polls to make him TIME’s Man of the Century instead of whatever shit stirring they’re up to these days.

Seemingly Turkish people have love for him

DEMOCRACY MY ASS.

Turkey says it is 'meaningless' to restore NATO dialogue with Sweden, FinlandTurkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Thursday it was 'meaningless' to hold a trilateral meeting with Sweden and Finland to discuss their NATO bids after protests this month in Stockholm. Question for any arrogant European here . Do think your small village state field with gays is somehow useful for NATO better than Turkish military ? Do a quick research and then come make your smart comment Turkey's response to the Swedish state's blatant sponsorship of promoting hate towards muslims is perfectly justified. The Scandinavians really do have serious xenophobia issues. Who do they think they are, exactly? The Greater Germanic Reich? Clowns. The majority of citizens in NATO countries would be happy to swap a corrupt Turkey out for Sweden and Finland.
