final vote count, we turn to soner cagaptay, who's head of the turkish research program at the washington instituter east policy. his most recent book is a sultan in autumn: erdogan faces turkey's uncontainable forces. to use your terms, what are the uncontainable forces driving erdogan to a runoff tonight? soner: i would say the economy. he has won elections until recently on a platform of economic growth and he has never one elections well not delivering -- while not delivering both. the economy was a big factor going into the elections and the earthquake hurt his popularity. his strength is his information control, or control of information flow. he has eliminated the autonomy of many of turkeys institutions from courts to foreign ministry, to the central bank with grave ramifications for policy but also electoral boards and media. 90% of the media is aligned with him and 80% of citizens cannot read linkages other than turkish. you can curate reality. in the run-up to elections, citizens to not hear about inflation, journalists in jail, or relief agencies providing eight after the earthquake, bu

vedomosti writes about this with reference to the washington institute of international finance. directions of the sanctions strike are restrictions against the financial sector and embargen. export of goods and services. the institute believes that the effect of banking sanctions against a country that does not depend on global financial markets is minimal, and trade sanctions also turned out to be ineffective. this was the news of the economy in short. in all fairness, valeriy zaluzhny has not appeared in public for 3 weeks now , versions have appeared on the internet that he was killed or seriously wounded, the ukrainian authorities constantly refute the publication of photos of the general's video interview however, it is not clear when they were filmed, and the situation was understood by evgeny. and whether the general was alive, the alteration of the well-known phrase reflects very well. what questions are now raising the person of the zaluzhny disappeared from the public field exactly after one of the russian strikes, or was wounded near artyomovsk and did not survive, so

with me is now is dr soner chaptie, director of the turkish research progamme at the washington institute— and author of the book a sultan in autumn: erdogan faces turkey's uncontainable, so seemingly a comfortable win for president erdogan. nevertheless it did go to a presidential run—off. what you think lifted him to victory? i would say that recep tayyip erdogan had that helped him beginning with the complete control of many institutions including electoral boards, boards and other similar propaganda. but in the race, president recep tayyip erdogan�*s campaign spread fake news and fake pamphlets alleging that kemal kilicdoroglu was backed by terrorists and his control of institutions, he controls about 90% of the media and kemal kilicdoroglu was not given a platform to make a case that he is not backed by a terrorist of what his platform would be if he was elected so there is where president recep tayyip erdogan�*s advantages so it is not a surprising victory but at the same time, of course, it is a sign that perhaps turkey has crossed a threshold where it is almost impossible to vote

well as ships and aircraft, will become its defendants, however, earlier experts from the washington instituteinance admitted that most of the previously adopted sanctions against russia were in fact ineffective. vice they shot down.

the washington institute for the study of war assumed that the main conductors of moscow cotton are sittingn the kremlin. western analysts did not believe that two drones could fly without any obstacles to the very heart of the russian empire, everything that happens in the kremlin is completely under the control of the federal security service, which provides security primarily for putin and of all officials could not have happened without ee with his so-to-speak to function, moreover, tyranny that later turned out to be useful for putin, an old russian tradition , as was the case with the bloody explosions of residential buildings, which allowed gdp under the pretext of fighting terrorism to get the full extent of russian power it is obvious that the tapes of the federal security service of the russian federation work according to a certain state of the algorithm and the russian language of the government is important to construct the russian society to create the prerequisites for the announcement following kolyshchatsky mobilization or in full-scale mobilization on the territory of the

earlier, i spoke with soner chaptie, the director of the turkish research program at the washington institute are when former president recep tayyip erdogan but it did go to presidential run—off. what do you think presidential run—off. what do you think lifted presidential run—off. what do you think lifted him presidential run—off. what do you think lifted him to victory? in the month i would say that recep tayyip erdogan had incumbency advantage is beginning with complete control of the institutions including electoral boards in turkey, for example, boyd's, news, and othersimilar example, boyd's, news, and other similar propaganda. the campaigns bed fake news, take pamphlets alleging that that kemal kilicdoroglu was backed by terrorists.— by terrorists. kemal kilicdoroglu - by terrorists. kemal kilicdoroglu was - by terrorists. kemal kilicdoroglu was not by terrorists. kemal- kilicdoroglu was not given by terrorists. kemal— kilicdoroglu was not given and a platform to say he is not backed by a terrorist. those were recep tayyip erdogan�*s advantages. not a surprising victory but at the same

will not affect their work in any way . ships and aircraft, however, earlier experts from the washington institutenternational finance recognized most of the previously adopted sanctions against russia in fact turned out to be ineffective. the russian society supports the course towards interethnic consent. the conclusion chosen by vladimir putin, which was made by the participants of the round table of the expert institute for social research, as for polls, almost 70% of russians believe that the fact that russia is a multinational country makes it stronger, as the participants of the meeting noted, despite the fact that society is united in the face of common challenges, work to strengthen inter-ethnic harmony, it is necessary to continue. we have a football player alexander in these conditions, it is extremely important for our country to react to these attempts and form a strategic vision within which we must create conditions for, uh, interethnic peace harmony. ah, consensus. e, in russian society, not only remained at the current level, but also strengthened and were a powerful foundation. a

the washington institute think tank and he says the results of sunday to write a confounding expectations. the holes were showing that the opposition candidate co star alone would be into it more hot, more contested race with president narrow on, perhaps falling within the same percent. fine. so present, oh, i'm pulling up maybe 3 points ahead or more of the surprising. what is even more surprising is it merges if the 3rd full candidate. this was supposed to be a to a race between or to on and co star olu, a 3rd bull canada. and his name is on who got not a significant part of the vote, but you not to be a spoiler. you got 5 percent and that's probably denied either of the 2 candidates 50 percent outright victory. i liked the 1st thing, the election to a run of this kind of on is an end came a grant to empty refugee candidate. and i think it's basically a new f poking turkish politics because both sides will accord him to get his votes and they will have to do at least something to satisfy his based on his message. probably president on more likely because the on. busy the will though he'

uh, he's the director of the washington institute turkish research program. we just live from washington dc. i'm found that so another 5 years in pa for president owed one, but whether it will go wrong for kim all can extrude. i mean, people in turkey said they wanted change, but he fail to convince folks that he was the right person to deliver. so what happened? he did in fact uh, yes, president there to long had incumbency advantages, control up institutions, information flow and media. but i think come out to the cheryl lou, 11 uninspiring campaign pressure on admitted maybe gambling that there were problems for example, after door squeaky, belatedly apologized for lat, cluster relief efforts and admitted that turkey was suffering from high inflation. but he made a case simultaneously that he could fix those problems and i think come out to the start, a little failed to make a commission case. so the electorate that you had put together a better team, which you would lead that would govern cherokee better if it was elected. so in this regard, i think the ca

but what's in our shop tie as the director of the washington institute, turkish research program, he says the election results show that 3rd one is the better option for talk. you the president there to long had incumbency advantages, control up institutions, information flowing media but i think come. busy because of cheryl lou 11 uninspiring campaign for the minutes maybe gambling that the. busy problems, for example, after doors for a key, belatedly apologize for lack luster, relief efforts, and admitted that turkey was suffering from high inflation. but he made a case simultaneously that you could fix those problems. and i think him also started a loop failed to make a commission in case of electorate that you had put together a better team, which you would lead that would govern cherokee better if you was elected. so in this regard, i think the campaign uninspired, the electorate, the electorate said we have problems in this country. but we, so thinking hard on is the better candidate to fix them. the one comfortably enough that he can say. busy this is okay, it's sustainable. s

countries where he's failed to receive the most about us on the top ties, the director of the washington institute took his research program. he says the election results. so the 3rd one is the best option for talk you president. there to long have incumbency advantages, control up institutions, information flow, and media. but i think come out to the cheryl lou, 11 uninspiring campaign for the minutes, maybe gambling that there were problems, for example, after doors for a key, belatedly apologize for lackluster relief efforts and admitted that turkey was suffering from high inflation. but he made a case simultaneously that you could fix those problems and i think him alco restart a loop, failed to make a commission in case of electra that you have put together a better team, which you would lead that would govern cherokee better if it was elected so in this regard, i think the campaign uninspired, the electorate, the electorate said we have problems in this country, but we, so thinking hard on is the better candidate to fix them. you want comfortably enough that he can say. busy this is ok, it's

she is also the founding director of the turkey program at the middle east institute, a washington, d.cthank. and james jeffery spent 35 years as an american diplomat, including as u.s. ambassador to turkey from 2008 to 2010. he's now chair of the middle east program at the wilson center, which is also a d.c.-based think tank. welcome to you both. polling earlier this month have erdogan training -- trailing all of the perspective candidates. he was facing frustration. how did he win? gÖnÜl: by basically following the autocrats playbook. he stirred up the cultural war, polarized society and framed the election as an existential war for survival. in such context voters usually do not easily change their voting behavior. we tend to forget about the pressing problems because they see that as an existential war. that's how he managed to prevent infections and kept his base together. amna: you know erdogan. when you look at how he won and where he won, what strikes you? james: how consistent this has been the past 20 years. he wins in the heartland and not in the cosmopolitan areas and has a

he institute the think tank who agrees that washington is playing a dangerous game. this is uh, political posturing um, in but the binding administration knew that they needed to remove that sanction that the sanction was actually meaningless. there was no reason to do that other than they did not want the meeting to occur. so it, it's clearly pastoring this trying to put this case forward that to us is somehow being reasonable and then it's china being unreasonable when it's the exact reverse . this is a common play by the us currently to accuse others of what they're doing themselves . you know, at this juncture, you know, there's not much china can do if they don't feel that there's any point to these meetings, or that the u. s. as in being sincere that, but that is a problem you have to nuclear nations at loggerheads and you know, this is adding to the uncertainty in the world. so at this juncture, i wish the white house was going for with some effort. instead of trying to cause more uncertainty to create more trust, you know, there's this effort to use proxies a
