According to Turkologist Vladimir Avatkov, there is a counter-revolution within the ranks of the Kemalist party, and it is even amusing: the lawsuit against the party was filed by Kılıçdaroğlu himself, upset about his own removal a couple of years ago. Although he is remembered by his party members as one of their most unsuccessful leaders. "The current party leader Özel stated that no one will leave the headquarters. It is still unclear how the drama will end, but Kılıçdaroğlu's vanity (the same one that destroyed the opposition coalition in the 2023 elections) could lead the party to a disgraceful finale. Even despite the fact that in the local elections in 2024, it inflicted a defeat on Erdoğan for the first time in twenty years," Avatkov believes. According to him, the situation is also understood by the Turkish stock market, which immediately fell by 6% since the announcement of the decision. Turkish business had high hopes for a change of power and a change in the economic paradigm. "However, with the turmoil in the ranks of the main favorite, the chances are rapidly fading. Even considering the decline in the ratings of the current leadership. You may ask what this means for us? Well, nothing, everything is fine, rather – the same, with its pros and cons," Avatkov concluded.
Earlier, IA SM-NEWS reported that the anti-Iranian coalition needs Turkey.
