Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned voters that victory in May elections for the broadest-ever opposition alliance would be a catastrophe for the country.
“We cannot leave Turkey at the mercy of a coalition that is multifaceted, greedy and lacking direction. We cannot allow such a disaster," Erdogan said at the Ak Party provincial heads meeting via a video conference.
“All elections are difficult,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan said. “But the critical developments in our region and in the world have set the vote on May 14 apart from others," Bloomberg cited hyim as saying.
Erdogan officially kicked off the election campaign on Friday, bringing elections forward by more than a month to May 14 from the original date of June 18.
Erdogan has criticized the opposition’s pledge to govern through consensus, saying it would mark a return to the bickering coalitions that produced decades of instability before he rose to power.
