The president of the Turkish advanced Election Commission (YSK) Ahmet Yener confirmed president Recep Tayyip Erdogan's win on Sunday evening in the second circular of the Turkish presidential election. Erdogan won 52.14% of the vote, and his rival – candidate for the majority of Turkish opposition Kemal Kilicdaroglu – 47.86 percent.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan immediately after announcing the election said the Turkish nation was the winner in the second circular of the presidential election. Addressing his supporters in Istanbul, Erdogan said that all citizens of the country had won. “We said, “We will win in specified a way that no 1 will lose.” So the only winner present is Turkey. Without compromising our democracy, improvement or goals, we have now opened the gates to Turkey's Centennial, but we have opened them together," said the President. "Together we have realized dreams and emotions of all groups of our nation, from men and women, from young and old, from workers and pensioners," he stressed.
Erdogan had previously criticised global media that attempted to influence public opinion with articles on Turkey's elections. “What do all these magazines have on their covers?”: “Erdogan must go.” ‘It's not you, West! My people will decide that.” – he spoke at 1 last rally before the second round. The issue of negative attitudes towards Erdogan media in the West was addressed by the Turkish tv news portal TRT World, which wrote: “The presidential and parliamentary elections in Turkey attracted the attention of global media, but respective publications were accused of biased transmission, their relations were directed against the government of the country and president Recep Tayip Erdogan, which was interpreted as an effort to influence the election behaviour of Turkish society. The partisan coverage of the presidential and parliamentary elections in Turkey by Western information services is simply a frequent phenomenon during subsequent elections – this is the opinion of the president of the parliamentary committee on abroad affairs and the erstwhile Minister of Sport, Akifa Cagataya Kilica. "They have experience in speaking on either side and do not behave objectively," said Kilic, who spoke to TRT World, indicating that any Western news services tried to influence the decision of Turkish voters.
The last editions of "The Economist", "Le Point" and "Der Spiegel" presented Recep Tayyip Erdogan on his cover negatively while millions of Turkish voters were preparing to vote in the upcoming elections. The Economist, who has millions of readers around the world, openly called for Erdogan to be removed, which undermines his claims about honest and neutral journalism. "No 1 takes them seriously anymore," said Kilic, pointing out that specified biased relations over the years influenced the journalistic reputation of Western news services.
A list of country leaders who almost immediately congratulated Erdogan is characteristic. The first was Qatar emir and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbanand from the countries of Europe the president of Serbia was second. 1 of the first to congratulate Erdogan was the president of Russia Vladimir Putin: "The election triumph was the natural consequence of your selfless work as leader of the Turkish Republic, a clear proof of the support of the Turkish people for your efforts to strengthen state sovereignty and conduct independent abroad policy," Putin wrote. "We very much appreciate your individual contribution to strengthening friendly Russian-Turkish relations and mutually beneficial cooperation in various areas," Putin added. Among the first congratulaters were leaders of Iran, Libya, Palestine, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Venezuela.
Only later did Western leaders join. "We are ready to work together to guarantee regional security, NATO improvement and peace in Europe," wrote Andrzej Duda. Congratulations were besides made by the French president Emmanuel Macron. He stressed that France and Turkey await "an tremendous challenge to overcome together". Among these challenges, Macro included "restoreing peace in Europe, the future of our Euro-Atlantic Alliance and the Mediterranean." British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak He wrote: “Congratulations to Recep Tayyip Erdogan. I look forward to continuing strong cooperation between our countries, from trade improvement to combating safety threats as NATO allies." And Joe Biden He besides wrote that he expected "further cooperation, as allies in NATO, on bilateral issues and global challenges". It draws attention to the fact that practically all Western leaders have talked about cooperation with Turkey within NATO, which, as we know, has been alternatively fiction in fresh years.
There is no question that the West quietly or even loudly (publications of leading press titles) cheered on the opposition candidate and hoped for Erdogan's fall. In turn Russia may have feared that Turkey would change its policy of not joining the crusade against it in the event of a triumph of the opposition. most likely from the EU and NATO countries, only Hungary supported Erdogan, due to the fact that Ankara's policy on many issues coincides with Budapest's policy.
