The President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan made the right decision, postponing the presidential and parliamentary elections would not be correct from a political and legal point of view. The election will be held on May 14. Of course, based on the results of the terrible earthquake, there were opinions about postponing the election to 6 months or 1 year later. However, according to the Turkish Constitution, the election can be postponed only in case of war. On the other hand, it was preferred to hold the election in a short time rather than keeping the country in a state of election tension for a year.
We will watch an interesting election campaign in brother Turkey. The most common questions I face are: "Who will be elected", "which candidate do you prefer" and "if Erdogan loses, will it have a negative effect on the Turkey-Azerbaijani alliance". My answer to the first two questions is that whoever will be elected will be good and successful for Turkey, and we must respect the choice of Turkish citizens. My answer to the last question is that Erdogan did great things to strengthen the Turkish-Azerbaijani alliance, and we will never forget his support in the Second Karabakh War. No one is forever, I believe that the future Presidents of the brotherly country will continue Erdogan's policy of alliance with Azerbaijan. Turkish society and army will not accept that any President does not take into account the security interests of Azerbaijan.
