Now we know. President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an has a talent for finding someone to argue with under every condition.

Nothing stops him. He constantly wants to yell at someone; to teach someone a lesson.

President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an has made an unscheduled visit to former President Süleyman Demirel to offer condolences for the death of his brother.

This was also the first meeting between the two politicians since Erdo?an was elected president last August.

The prevention of President Abdullah Gül’s return to politics is an important political indicator. Gül’s exclusion from politics is indicative of how the Justice and Development Party (AKP) has changed its stance from the inclusive, reformist, moderate and center-oriented policies it followed from its inception in 2002 until 2010 to more radical and ideological politics.

The Turkish defense minister has said Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan could win the upcoming August presidential elections with 90 percent of the votes through “good work” during the campaign.
