Erdogan's Grip Tightens: The Dark Day for Turkish Democracy The latest court ruling in Turkey has handed President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a significant victory, further cementing his grip on power and dealing a devastating blow to the country's opposition.
The appeal court's decision to nullify the leadership election of the Republican People's Party (CHP) and replace its leader Özgür Özel with Kemal Kilicdaroğlu is a masterful move by Erdogan to consolidate his hold on Turkey.
The ruling not only undermines the CHP but also highlights the judiciary's willingness to do Erdogan's bidding.
