does the opposition build on that because presumably they're now looking to the presidential elections as well the unity among the president among the opposition is not a very it's not an organic unity of course i mean we're not looking for organic unity among the politicians but if we look at their voters base that unity that comes from being anti i erred on is not a very suspense sustainable unity in the long run i mean now we are and we're talking about. a kurdish i don't want to i don't want to label them as that but they're the socal kurdish supporting party the east b.p. on one hand we have the far right nationalists on the other i mean how can that. be sustainable in the long run and challenge a leader that has unified more than fifty percent been added on i mean the opposition in the short term is united at the moment but i don't think that's a very sustainable one and this has worked in the local elections because simply
2:01 pm
they can nominate candidates that will appeal to certain districts or provinces but i think in the presidential or parliamentary elections that unity is not very sayst sustainable that it will be creating some sort of intra alliance rifts giving these ideological differences however out on me needs to still tackle the economy to sustain his. and maintain his is popularity some of the reform all and structural changes needs to be implemented and his party needs to also adjust and be able to answer the demands of the people and i think one of the strengths our party has had so far is the fact that they are in a continuous change and to add to to maintain their political momentum in the eyes of the people ok one of the weaknesses of the opposition is not to maintain that ok he's always kind of pitched himself or spun himself as being the guarantor of

prosperity prosperity that so. always just around the corner going forward in the next a year or eighteen months when say he goes to the i.m.f. and the i.m.f. say no actually we won't give you any money you've got to get it from some place else how does he build on that how does he get prosperity into the economy. well first of all would present that on approached i.m.f. despite everything yes said about former politicians who have worked with a n f yes you would because at the end of the day is a pragmatist and there are no elections at least there are no plans elections are for the next four years but he would the first step of more going to the approaching the i.m.f. would be behind the curtains negotiations and he would not make it public before year's green light from the i.m.f. and he would go to i.m.f. on the any for me it is a very serious jaish and and the alternative would be as heavy crisis in turkey well if that is this generation nobody has an interest in
2:03 pm
a bankrupting turkey so i do not think that i.m.f. would turn him and he handed so i think that if there is a serious crisis in turkey present added on with that brought a day m.-f. and i have i.m.f. will not to an empty handed thing as such can in london generally any president or prime minister that tries to push through policies of austerity regardless first safe they are politically or not there's a very short shelf life for a politician that stays with austerity will his popularity now did as he zeroes in on turning around the economy structural reforms for the economy will entailed pain and that is likely to have an impact on our doors popularity but whether that will be enough to bring him down i think that's the question my personal view is that one remains very popular and he still does have the support of the fifty percent and he has some political capital in that sense that he could spend for
2:04 pm
pushing through these reforms in fact his longer term political. it's a fact survival depends on it because if turkey's economic story is not transformed and turkey does not enter a growth spurt that does not bode well for our dongs a longer term political future and whatever he wants to achieve in the country beyond the four year outlook. last question to math my challenge in istanbul given all these problems movement is turkey now heading into a better place over the next what two years or not because after that two year period we're then heading towards the presidential election a couple of years after that look i mean something that traditionally has happened in turkey is what changes after or will there be a new turkey after the elections and that question always rises the question i mean why as long as soon as the elections are all. the live goes back to normal however whether or not it will go back to good or worse will depend of course only on the
2:05 pm
short to mid-term. reforms the government will implement and i just want to touch on something that we were discussing the previous question with regards to i.m.f. or other bodies that will maybe use some of their policies against her to are the one at the moment he becomes vulnerable or for you to an external factor people rally people rally around him and i think it would be if the u.s. with the f. thirty five i am asked if they choose to take a step against are gone i think that works against what the try to achieve if that is the weakening of fired on because he may resent that we are now sometimes for which i apologize someone have to bring our conversation to a close but thank you to all our guests they were chelate a section. is such
