As Erdoğan hints at retirement, how has his rule shaped Turkey?

The statement, made at a meeting for the Turkish Youth Foundation, was not an official announcement by any means.

Key Points: 
  • The statement, made at a meeting for the Turkish Youth Foundation, was not an official announcement by any means.
  • Rather, it was what appeared to be a frank statement communicated to a young party audience.
  • Mincing words is not usually Erdoğan’s style; he can be quite direct and candid, which has been one of the key appeals of his charismatic personality.
  • Understandably, response to the speech, both within and outside of Turkey, has so far been somewhat muted.

Erdoğan’s legacy

  • It is perhaps too early to judge Erdoğan’s political legacy comprehensively.
  • But his impact on the nation’s trajectory, its regional standing, social structures and government institutions has been undeniable.
  • The two sides had a falling out and Erdoğan accused the movement of being behind the failed coup in 2016.
  • From 2002 until the early 2010s, Turkey’s economy experienced unprecedented growth, fueled by increased foreign investment and large scale projects.
  • The economic success of these years lifted millions into the middle class and led to higher living standards overall.

A Post-Erdoğan era?

  • His son-in-law, Berat Albayrak, once touted as a clear frontrunner in the race to succeed him, has since left active politics.
  • If a new president continues much of the similar policies and has a non-disruptive approach, then a peaceful transition is plausible.
  • But Erdoğan’s party failing to concede a loss, or his voter base failing to recognize the results, may lead to a turbulent transition.
