CAN THE 4-YEAR PERIOD BE COMPLETED IN THIS TABLE?
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in his balcony speech where he evaluated the local election results, stated that they could not get the results they expected.
Pointing to the upcoming presidential elections, Erdogan said that he would remain at the top of the state for another 4 years.
Citizens who interpret Erdoğan's words differently think that it is impossible to continue with the current administration for another four years due to the current economic crisis, high inflation and high cost of living.
