Incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdogan faces his opposition rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu in the second round of voting on May 28.

Sinan Ogan, Turkey's nationalist presidential candidate who finished third in Sunday's election, said he could only support main opposition candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu in the runoff if he agrees to offer no concessions to a pro-Kurdish party.

Opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) dissident politician Sinan Oğan said on April 9 that he escaped an assassination attempt during a visit to the Bafra district of the Black Sea province of Samsun, while the district governor denied, saying he was exaggerating the incident.

No, it is not your navigator giving you directions while you are driving. It is the way politics are shaping up in the world these days. Most recently, the U.S. and the Netherlands both decided to move a little to the right.
