Who is Erdogan's challenger in the presidential election?

The name of the country's opposition leader Kemal Kilikdarugul has been officially announced as the challenger of the current President Rajab Tayyip Erdogan in the upcoming Turkish presidential election. The announcement was made after a long controversy with the six -party alliance. The president and parliament will be elected on the same day on May 7. This year's election in Turkey is expected to be the most difficult competition in the country in 5 years.

"Our table is a table of peace," said Kilikadruku, chairman of the Republican People's Party (CHP) in the presence of about two thousand people in Ankara on Monday. Our goal is to take the country to prosperity, peace and joy. '

The opposition coalition has said that if they win, Erdogan's policy will make major changes in the economy, civic department, and foreign policy.

Kilikdaruglu (1) can take the current economic crisis and inflation opportunity in Turkey. Moreover, last month's earthquake can capitalize on misery. The earthquake killed 3,000 people.

But still, there is doubt as to whether this former economist will really be able to defeat Erdogan. Erdogan, who has been in power for a long time in Turkey, has won many elections by showing his charisma.

Five opposition coalition parties agreed on Friday with the nomination of Killikadruglo. However, the country's right-wing IYI party leader Miraal Aksenar said the candidate would lose the election. He recommends the mayor of Ankara or Istanbul be a presidential candidate. However, after the 12-hour exciting discussion, all the parties compromised that the mayor of Ankara and Istanbul would be nominated as Vice President.

Al -Jazeera's movie Koshagl Ankara said that the worst thing to do is that he lost almost all of the elections. However, the popularity of the 'Justice March' from Ankara to Istanbul was in protest against the oppression of journalists and educators after the coup.

The opposition parties in Turkey are quite close now. They took control of a number of important municipalities, including Istanbul and Ankara from Erdogan's AK party in the local elections of the 27th. Source: Al Jazeera

Turkey can play a role in the reconstruction of Afghanistan

Afghanistan is changing very fast. No one could have imagined that the Taliban would take control of Afghanistan so quickly. Within a few days, the whole of Kabul fell to the Taliban. Many people are now gathering at the airport hoping to leave Afghanistan. And millions of bodies are dreaming of leaving the Afghan country. Because if you stay in the country, you have to die or you have to stay under the strict rule of the Taliban. News from Daily Sabah.

The Taliban has asked all foreign troops to leave Afghanistan by August 31. So once the deadline is over, everyone is uncertain about what will happen after Monday. Although everyone left, Turkey wanted to stay in Afghanistan. But they have also been told to leave Afghanistan. That is why Turkish troops started leaving Afghanistan. Turkey thought it would have control of the Kabul Hamid Karzai International Airport. But nothing happened as expected.

Turkey, of course, has good reason to think so. They thought some foreign troops would remain in Afghanistan and that Taliban control would be limited. Since the Taliban will control everything, what does it mean to take control of just one airport? It would also be a kind of occupation and Ankara never had such an agenda. Meanwhile, the Taliban has sought Ankara's help to help the Afghan people. Although it is a dangerous and risky path.

Turkey has a special place in the eyes of Afghanistan and the Afghan people. It is clear that everyone loves Turkey and they have never been seen as an occupying force. And this is the biggest advantage. And using this opportunity, Ankara wants to build a relationship with the new Afghan government, which is of course the Taliban.

Since we cannot change the reality in Afghanistan, our goal as responsible global citizens should be to keep Afghanistan as open to the world as possible. And that is only possible when the Taliban keep in touch with the world. Having a relationship with the Taliban can be a way to keep them connected and stand in the way of major human rights violations.

However, this does not mean that Turkey should not be in contact with the Taliban. Turkey and all other countries need to talk to them to keep Afghanistan open to the rest of the world. That is the thing that the Turkish government is doing. Ankara is taking a pragmatic approach to Afghanistan and adopting new realities. Foreign Minister Mevlt chavutoglu said Turkey would work in coordination with the international community on its position on the recognition of a new government in Afghanistan.

And at this critical juncture, Turkey can play an important, constructive and positive role and contribute to the reconstruction of Afghanistan.
