Authoritarian rule. After 11 years as Prime Minister he has been elected turkeys next president. Today is a new era for turkey. Today is the day turkey rises from the ashes to form a new country. For supporters of his party, the result was never in doubt. It was always obvious who the winner of the election was going to be. The Prime Minister stood tall and so did the muslims. He garnered nearly 52 of the vote, enough to avoid a second round runoff. Both his main rivals 45year term have conceded defeat. But they say they will be keeping a nine on his actions. I hope these results will be good for our democracy. I congratulate our Prime Minister and wish him good luck. Whoever tramples on our principles, his title does not matter. He can be president , Prime Minister, or minister. If he acts against our principles, we will not hesitate to stand against him. He will not have immunity just because he is president. It is the first time turks have voted for their president. The decision used to be left to members of parliament. Despite a Corruption Scandal protests, and a mining disaster in the last year, he still enjoys strong support from many, particularly religious conservatives. In recent decades, president s have hardly played a ceremonial well. He says he will exercise full president ial powers, including chairing cabinet meetings and appointing key posts in the justice system. For more analysis on this vote and what it means for turkeys future, im joined by a political analyst specializing in turkish politics. Thank you for taking the time to join us. He did win by less than anticipated. Still a decisive victory. What does it say about the direction turkey is heading . The polls gave him a neat victory. Garden he started his Prime Minister roe in 2003 as a conservative democrat. He made many reforms in turkey. Social policies have improved. The majority of the population for religious and social reasons are supporting him. The country has become an emerging power. There is a satisfaction particularly amongst the population with low income and some sectors of society. Unfortunately, as of 2010 and 2011, he started becoming more authoritarian preferring his personal style of government surrounded with a small team of advisers. He does not even consult his own party, etc. He sees himself as sort of a historical leader of the second greatest the second greatest historical leader of the republic since the 1920s and 30s. He has become he has been exercising power. That has led him to become more powerful paranoid. He dominates the political system but still talks about threats to him etc. He says he will make political reforms to make the presidency a stronger position. Is this a dangerous move . What does it mean . In a country like turkey, it is a danger. Unlike the united states, the separation of powers are not solid in turkey. Currently, he dominates Parliament Justice system. Big media groups have been sort of bought by his industrial friends, so he controls everything. That is dangerous for turkish democracy. Many outside of turkey question how he could still be in power and have won the victory considering the images the western media for trays. Is there a major disconnect between how the media perceives him and how turks view him . A small part of the turkish media are still independent and criticize him for being authoritarian, etc. This is true. Since his party is successful economically and socially and the opposition parties are very sweak, he enjoys support in the party country. 52 is not what he was expecting. But still, he has majority in the country. That is all we have time for. Thank you for sharing your perspective on this election. Thank you.
