Reuters analysis of Turkey: Early elections may come

The UK-based news agency Reuters has published a comprehensive report on the recent economic surge in Turkey. The report said Erdogan’s minimum wage and other moves could be interpreted as a signal for an early election, while an AKP official who did not disclose his name said “New steps will be taken.”

The British news agency Reuters has prepared a comprehensive analysis of Turkey. Analyzing the steps taken by President Erdogan regarding the recent surge in the TL, Reuters noted that they could be perceived as a signal of an early election.

The agency said, “According to political analysts, President Erdogan, with two major decisions (an increase in the minimum wage and a new deposit) effectively opened the door to an early election.” These happened at a time when the crisis was felt. Erdogan and senior AKP officials have repeatedly denied this claim. It was also noted that the comfort in wages and the sharp increase in the TL in 2022 indicated that Erdogan, losing strength in the polls for a long time, might want to take action as soon as possible.”
