Business Insider UK quotes Rafik Hariri Center Nonresident Fellow Aaron Stein on the win of President Recep Erdogan and the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Turkey’s elections:
“The AKP out-performed all of its polls — most analysts, including myself, thought that the AKP would be forced to enter into negotiations with an opposition party,” Aaron Stein, a nonresident fellow at the Atlantic Council, told Business Insider by email.
He added: “Kurdish youth aligned with the PKK could hasten their self-declared push for regional autonomy in certain cities, but there is no doubt that the AKP has a mandate to govern.”
