00:00:18
The election campaign was divided into before and after the earthquake.
00:00:25
Everyone is talking about the elections over the phone and in private.
00:00:29
Just like in Russia in 2011-2012.
00:00:33
People keep on talking about Kэlэзdaroрlu hating Russians.
00:00:37
They think he'll deport everybody right away.
00:00:39
He was not elected. So, maybe he fell short of his target.
00:00:44
Our president is a great leader, just like Putin.
00:00:47
We, young people, want new politicians.
00:00:49
Don't you think the country needs new politicians?
00:00:52
We have democracy in Turkey.
00:00:55
Everyone votes for whoever they want.
00:00:57
When you criticize the incumbent authorities,
00:01:01
be sure they will knock on your door the next day.
00:01:05
The opposition is winning in all the big cities.
00:01:07
Here in Istanbul or Ankara, for example.
00:01:10
I see it as a great mechanism
00:01:13
that protects the voting system from massive electoral fraud.
00:01:17
What is going to happen in Turkey?
00:01:19
Won't Erdoğan try to tighten the screws even more?
00:01:23
REDAKTSIYA
00:01:27
Hello, friends!
00:01:28
The official results of the elections in Turkey that were a subject of interest
00:01:32
for the whole world were announced on Thursday.
00:01:35
In Turkey itself, they were called "the elections of the century":
00:01:39
for the first time in the history of the Republic of Türkiye –
00:01:43
which is celebrating its centennial this year, –
00:01:46
a second round of voting for the new president was announced.
00:01:50
These elections broke the record in terms of the number of voters.
00:01:53
About 90% of all people that have the right to vote participated.
00:01:57
The difference between the main candidates was only a couple of percentage points.
00:02:02
The country was divided into two coalitions.
00:02:06
It seemed that massive protests were inevitable
00:02:09
if the incumbent candidate would win.
00:02:12
At least, many Russian Telegram channels and media outlets predicted
00:02:17
Maidan and even a civil war scenario in Turkey.
00:02:20
But eventually, it all went pretty smoothly.
00:02:22
The opposition recognized the voting results right away.
00:02:26
Why weren't there any protests?
00:02:29
Are such competitive and fair elections possible in a typical autocracy?
00:02:34
And what do the results of these elections mean for Russia and the whole world,
00:02:39
between which Turkey has become the main mediator?
00:02:43
Karina Mukhutdinova was monitoring this unprecedented campaign
00:02:49
from the inside and talked to many Turkish citizens
00:02:53
on how they lived through these months and how they see their future now
00:02:58
that Erdoрan, who's been in power for 20 years,
00:03:01
has become president again.
00:03:18
THE NIGHT AFTER THE ELECTIONS
00:03:33
I've lived in Istanbul my entire life.
00:03:35
I work as a development director in an electronics company.
00:03:39
I write articles, poems, and have even written a book.
00:03:46
I've lived here my whole life. I worked in a factory and then retired.
00:03:52
Now, I'm engaged in petty trade.
00:03:55
Sit down! Sit! Sit!
00:04:03
Previously, I worked as a secretary
00:04:05
in the Ministry of Education and at school.
00:04:08
Now, my husband and I have opened our own cafe in our backyard
00:04:12
so our kids could study at university.
00:04:20
My name is Musa Özer, I've lived here since I was born.
00:04:24
I'm engaged in agriculture. I grow oranges.
00:04:29
I'm Can Özer, Mr. Musa's wife.
00:04:36
I've lived in Antalya for about 45 years. Maybe, 42 years.
00:04:42
I worked as a hotel director in several resorts near Antalya.
00:04:46
Now, I own a bakery, we make pastries.
00:04:50
Who did you vote for in the presidential elections?
00:04:55
For Kemal Kэlэзdaroрlu.
00:04:57
For Erdoрan, of course.
00:04:59
Kэlэзdaroрlu.
00:05:02
Recep Tayip Erdoрan.
00:05:04
Kэlэзdaroрlu. I voted for him.
00:05:21
These elections were of crucial importance for Turkey,
00:05:27
as they define the regime that is going to be declared in the country
00:05:31
and the path we're going to follow.
00:05:33
Now, all the decisions are being made by one person.
00:05:38
And it's really worrying,
00:05:40
because it's a direct road to dictatorship.
00:05:52
A WEEK BEFORE THE FIRST ROUND OF ELECTIONS
00:05:57
What do you feel about the sentiments in Turkey during the last months?
00:06:01
The atmosphere is very tense and uncertain.
00:06:06
Everyone is nervous about the elections.
00:06:09
Everyone thinks about what's going to happen next,
00:06:13
about the voting results and the winner.
00:06:16
Everyone is talking about the elections over the phone and in private.
00:06:20
When you meet with your friends, you ask right away,
00:06:23
"Who are you going to vote for?
00:06:25
What do you think about this?"
00:06:27
It's just like in Russia in 2011-2012,
00:06:31
when we had our elections. There were demonstrations back then.
00:06:34
You'd go to Chistiye Prudy or Pushkinskaya Street,
00:06:37
and you'd feel, "Well, just a bit more – and something is going to change..."
00:06:43
I feel like Turks are living through the same thing.
00:06:55
The opposition had a long road to go. It took a lot time for them to unite
00:06:59
and absorb different political powers.
00:07:04
Of course, as many people say, this is the last chance
00:07:07
for the opposition to defeat Erdoрan.
00:07:13
These elections in Turkey were to take place only on June 18.
00:07:18
Buy they were organized one month earlier. The first round took place on May 14.
00:07:22
Formally, Erdoрan explained it like that:
00:07:24
June is a summer month when everyone is on vacation
00:07:27
so no one would come to vote.
00:07:29
But actually, May 14 is not just a date.
00:07:34
MAY 14, 1950
00:07:35
On this very day in 1950,
00:07:38
the Democratic Party won the elections in Turkey for the first time
00:07:42
and the multi-party system was established in the country.
00:07:46
Before that,
00:07:47
the Republican People's Party, or CHP, was in power for many years.
00:07:51
It still exists
00:07:52
and is headed by Erdoрan's main rival
00:07:55
Kemal Kэlэзdaroрlu.
00:07:57
Considering the fact that Justice and Development Party
00:07:59
headed by Erdoрan himself
00:08:01
presents itself as conservative democrats,
00:08:03
the symbolic meaning of the elections having been brought forward is clear.
00:08:08
May 14 actually has
00:08:11
great symbolic importance in the Turkish historical memory.
00:08:17
I think that the incumbent government was counting on it.
00:08:22
But we can't say that is has some meaning for the ordinary Turkish voter.
00:08:29
In my mind, the key explanation here is
00:08:31
the rapidly deteriorating economic situation in the republic.
00:08:37
One month or even one week can make a crucial difference in Turkey now.
00:08:43
Nobody knows what's going to happen to the Turkish economy next month.
00:08:48
I think this is the reason why the elections were brought forward.
00:08:55
REDAKTSIYA
00:08:59
The economic situation in Turkey is really bad now.
00:09:03
Inflation reached 85.5% at the end of the last year.
00:09:07
Prices, even for essential products, keep on growing.
00:09:11
For example, the price of butter has recently grown by 138%.
00:09:16
The price of such cereal as bulgur wheat,
00:09:18
which is as popular here as buckwheat is in Russia,
00:09:20
has risen by more than 300%.
00:09:22
A kilo of meat costs 650 liras here.
00:09:25
It's equivalent to 2,600 Russian rubles.
00:09:31
You go to the market and hear everyone complaining.
00:09:35
Imagine, people can't afford potatoes and onions.
00:09:39
Some of them don't have meat in their daily diet.
00:09:43
On average, I think people can buy
00:09:46
two-three kilos of ground meat or cuts of meat a month.
00:09:49
Hardly more. The cost of living is skyrocketing.
00:09:53
Before, we'd buy ground meat for 55 liras. Now, it costs 300 liras more.
00:10:00
Of course, we are forced to raise prices in our cafe, too.
00:10:05
We also need to make ends meet. Everything is getting more expensive.
00:10:15
People raise prices at will.
00:10:18
I sell my oranges for 5-6 liras per kilo in the beginning of the season.
00:10:24
They now cost 17-18 liras at the grocer's in my village.
00:10:28
Why so?
00:10:34
The prices for food have grown by 5-7 times in Turkish liras.
00:10:42
Everybody who moved here before the war
00:10:49
did so because they wanted to have comfortable life.
00:10:53
They moved because of the cordiality, not much of which is left now,
00:10:57
and because of the local prices.
00:10:59
When the prices have become high even for us...
00:11:02
You realize that you can afford a better life
00:11:07
in some other place.
00:11:10
When I moved here, I tried to find a job
00:11:12
based on my qualification
00:11:15
at a Russian school or club several times.
00:11:18
But all my attempts were unsuccessful. Because...
00:11:22
How can I put it mildly?
00:11:24
People were a bit sly when they'd say they are ready to give me a job.
00:11:29
They would promise one salary. When the time comes, they pay you less.
00:11:33
A Turkish incomes is incommensurable with the living standards here.
00:11:39
And it's very hard.
00:11:42
How much did they offer you?
00:11:46
5,000-6,000 Turkish liras.
00:11:49
6,000 liras? According to the current exchange rate, 24,000 rubles.
00:11:52
For one month of work? - Yep.
00:11:56
It's easier not to work at all that earn that little.
00:12:01
My pension now is 8,000 Turkish liras.
00:12:06
For whom is it enough for a decent living?
00:12:09
I think the bottom limit for an income so that you wouldn't starve
00:12:13
is 20,000 liras and more per family.
00:12:21
If we take an ordinary engineer, they get around 20,000 liras.
00:12:27
If you're not married, you can live on 20,000 liras
00:12:29
in Istanbul without having an opportunity to save.
00:12:32
You can just live, buy food and some clothes. That's it.
00:12:36
If you're married and you have kids,
00:12:38
your wife has to work too, if you've got such a salary.
00:12:42
Otherwise, it's going to be hard to live in Istanbul.
00:12:53
Th global economy is deteriorating. Not only Turkey is in this situation now.
00:12:57
Every country, including America,
00:12:59
has economic problems. It's a common situation.
00:13:02
Erdoрan and many leaders of the world are forced to put up with it.
00:13:09
In the early 2000s, Erdoрan's party helped
00:13:12
the country out of a severe financial crisis.
00:13:15
The economy was thriving, he attracted foreign investments.
00:13:20
The economic model that was chosen by the Justice and Development Party
00:13:25
was based mostly on attracting investments from abroad.
00:13:29
When the relationship between Ankara and Western powers started getting worse
00:13:35
in the mid-2010s, the flow of investments was reduced,
00:13:39
the economy started to stagnate, inflation started rising sharply,
00:13:46
the exchange rate of the Turkish lira to the US dollar went down.
00:13:50
Erdoрan has a very peculiar vision for the economy.
00:13:55
In essence, he controls the central bank. He uses his power
00:13:59
and appeals to the fact that Islam reproves usury.
00:14:04
The interest rate is a common pain for the whole nation.
00:14:11
Erdoрan thinks he needs to reduce it,
00:14:14
but it does not make any essential changes.
00:14:19
So, Erdoрan is trying to appeal to Turkey's glorious past
00:14:24
and Turkey's special path. As he said once...
00:14:31
They have dollars, we have Allah.
00:14:35
We almost don't have foreign currency in the country.
00:14:40
Salaries in the public sector don't grow.
00:14:43
If we put these factors together,
00:14:45
it becomes clear that we are on the verge of a financial disaster.
00:14:49
Considering what Mr. President tells us,
00:14:52
he doesn't even give us a hint that he's somehow trying
00:14:56
to change the economic policy in the country.
00:14:59
I'm afraid we're going to face serious problems after these elections.
00:15:03
Did I get it right, that even during these elections,
00:15:06
despite the skyrocketing inflation and economic problems
00:15:09
in the country, Erdoрan didn't speak about the economy at all?
00:15:12
Erdoрan is trying to avoid speaking about the economic situation.
00:15:16
He puts an emphasis on foreign policy,
00:15:19
and the power of Turkish weapons,
00:15:22
which are demonstrated to Turkish voters from time to time.
00:15:26
He takes part in pretentious ceremonies
00:15:28
that glorify the developments of the Turkish military complex.
00:15:39
Turkey had reached a higher level of development
00:15:42
in the defense industry and the road industry.
00:15:49
It's a mystery
00:15:51
how the ruling party members have made such a great fortune.
00:15:54
This fact cannot be explained
00:15:57
by their pretty standard state salaries.
00:16:00
Where did this money come from? It's impossible to explain.
00:16:04
Why do they live in big mansions and fly in their private jets?
00:16:20
Of course, the country's leader needs a plane!
00:16:23
I don't see any problem here.
00:16:25
If I have three cars,
00:16:27
the person who rules Turkey has to have 30 cars.
00:16:31
People talk about corruption to discredit Erdoрan.
00:16:35
This is wrong.
00:16:38
REDAKTSIYA
00:16:46
Erdoрan's Justice and Development Party
00:16:49
is often called the family hobby club.
00:16:51
This is a big problem
00:16:54
and it damages many areas of life in Turkey.
00:17:00
It has become evident after the devastating earthquake
00:17:04
on February 6 this year as never before.
00:17:14
FEBRUARY 6, 2023
00:17:15
An awful earthquake happened in southeastern Turkey on February 6.
00:17:19
Tens of thousands of buildings were destroyed.
00:17:22
More than 50,000 people lost their lives.
00:18:01
The earthquake changed the pre-election situation in Turkey.
00:18:05
It was a huge shock for the whole Turkish nation.
00:18:10
Even the pro-government media admit that the election campaign
00:18:14
in the country was divided into before and after the earthquake.
00:18:22
Thank you.
00:18:24
On the second day, opposition leader Kemal Kэlэзdaroрlu said
00:18:28
that he refuses to talk
00:18:30
about the earthquake in isolation from politics.
00:18:32
Kэlэзdaroрlu's rating started going up right after the earthquake.
00:18:39
It may sound cynical, but the opposition earned some points
00:18:43
thanks to the effects of this earthquake
00:18:47
and criticism of the authorities that didn't manage the situation well.
00:18:54
Why does the opposition think Erdoрan is the one to blame
00:18:57
for such devastating effects of this earthquake?
00:18:59
The key is the so-called building amnesty
00:19:01
that was declared eight times while he's been in power.
00:19:04
As a rule, he'd do that before the elections.
00:19:07
What's the point of it? The owners of the illegally constructed buldings
00:19:10
could pay a state duty and keep them intact without having to demolish them.
00:19:14
The last amnesty was announced in 2018.
00:19:18
Two million buildings were preserved back then,
00:19:21
300,000 of them were in the regions
00:19:23
that suffered the most from this earthquake.
00:19:30
Now, Turkish society has a defferent view
00:19:34
on this building amnesty. They don't treat it like before.
00:19:39
It's important to remember that more than 50% of the buildings
00:19:46
in the affected areas were constructed after 2001,
00:19:53
i.e. under Erdoрan.
00:19:56
It's no one's fault. This was the will of God.
00:20:01
Turkey tried to heal this wound by uniting.
00:20:04
The whole world was helping us.
00:20:06
If such a situation happened in any other country,
00:20:09
we would definitely help those who were affected.
00:20:11
But it has nothing to do with the state.
00:20:14
It's just God's will.
00:20:18
The authorities were not ready for this emergency
00:20:22
and didn't know what to do.
00:20:24
It was announced that no one can take any actions without a presidential order.
00:20:29
Turkey received aid from all over the globe.
00:20:31
There were cases when the government tried
00:20:34
to pass this humanitarian aid off as their own.
00:20:37
The debris are still being removed.
00:20:41
The destroyed buildings are being rebuilt and new roads are being cleared and built.
00:20:49
Erdoрan was reminded
00:20:52
that he also came in power in 2002, three years after a devastating earthquake
00:20:57
in Izmit. Over 20,000 people died there.
00:21:01
It is considered that discontent with the then government
00:21:06
helped Erdoрan and his party to come in power.
00:21:15
The incumbent president of Turkey Recep Tayip Erdoрan
00:21:17
has been in power for 20 years. He started off as the mayor of Istanbul
00:21:21
and has always propagated Islamic views.
00:21:24
Early on, they were quite radical.
00:21:26
Minarets are our bayonets,
00:21:28
Domes are our helmets,
00:21:33
Mosques are our barracks.
00:21:36
Erdoрan was imprisoned for several months in 1998 because of this poem
00:21:41
for the incitement to religious hatred.
00:21:45
In 2000s, he was holding to more moderate views
00:21:48
and even pointed out that he wasn't an Islamist.
00:21:52
Back in 2000s, Erdoрan establihed the Justice and Development Party
00:21:55
that propagated the idea of conservative democracy, as I've said.
00:21:59
The party and its young leader, 49-year-old Recep Tayip Erdoрan
00:22:04
who was constantly talking about Turkey's westernization
00:22:06
was supported by masses and he won the elections.
00:22:10
In 2003, he became the country's prime minister.
00:22:13
Turkey still was a parliamentary republic then.
00:22:16
When Erdoрan became the prime minister, he carried out reforms
00:22:19
and stripped the Parliament of many powers.
00:22:26
In 2014, Erdoрan bacame the president of the presidential republic.
00:22:31
After the unsuccessful military coup of 2016,
00:22:33
he made amendments to the constitution again
00:22:35
and eliminated the Prime Minister post.
00:22:40
2017
00:22:43
Erdoğan's supporters managed to force
00:22:45
these amendments by a very small margin:
00:22:49
51% to 49%.
00:22:52
The presidential system was established in the country then.
00:22:58
The president got the leading role.
00:23:03
He has almost unlimited power:
00:23:07
he has the right to dissolve parliament,
00:23:10
he can promulgate laws, bypassing the parliament.
00:23:12
Most importantly, Turkey has all the conditions
00:23:16
for a lifetime presidency.
00:23:18
There's a clause that allows the President
00:23:20
to call early elections during his second term,
00:23:28
and it automatically resets his presidential terms to zero.
00:23:33
So, Erdoğan can stay in power forever.
00:23:38
THE VILLAGE OF BAHTILI
00:23:47
There are many cafes like this in Turkish villages. Men gather here.
00:23:51
We don't have an opportunity to enjoy other types of entertainment.
00:23:55
We can't go to the pub, for example. So, we come here.
00:23:58
We play table games.
00:24:00
The losers usually pay for everyone's drinks.
00:24:03
People come here to have fun.
00:24:05
Farmers come here after tiring work.
00:24:08
Instead of going home and resting, they come here to hang out,
00:24:12
drink tea and coffee, and then go home. Our life is like this.
00:24:19
Hello, everyone!
00:24:44
We are not satisfied with the life we have because it's super expensive.
00:24:48
The neighborhood we live in now is industrial.
00:24:52
People who are engaged in agriculture live here.
00:24:55
Diesel fuel, fertilizers, and medicines are too expensive.
00:24:59
It affects our political choice.
00:25:06
-Who did you vote for? -CHP.
00:25:09
CHP? Who did you vote for?
00:25:11
Did you vote for CHP, too?
00:25:13
-CHP. -CHP.
00:25:15
CHP. Everyone here voted for them.
00:25:19
Why do we support Kılıçdaroğlu? He protects his people,
00:25:22
he supports the poor, and he doesn't protect the rich.
00:25:25
This is why I support Kılıçdaroğlu.
00:25:29
A few words about Erdoğan's main rival
00:25:31
Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.
00:25:33
He is 74 years old. He is also a veteran of Turkish politics.
00:25:37
In the 1990s, he was the head of the Social Security Institution
00:25:40
and was elected to parliament six times.
00:25:43
Since 2010, he's been the leader of the Republican People's Party –
00:25:47
that very party established by another Kemal – Kemal Atatürk.
00:25:53
He is the father of the Turkish nation.
00:25:55
It was Atatürk who created modern Turkey
00:25:57
and turned it into a developing secular state.
00:26:00
His portraits are everywhere, his name is written on every third car.
00:26:04
We talked about Atatürk's role in the history of Turkey
00:26:07
in our longer episode.
00:26:11
So, his party is now headed by Kilichdaroglu.
00:26:14
But apart from the Republican People's Party,
00:26:16
the opposition coalition includes five other parties
00:26:19
with completely different views:
00:26:21
centrists, nationalists, Islamists, liberals.
00:26:25
All of them united and chose one leader
00:26:28
who represented their interests during these elections.
00:26:33
The nomination of a single candidate by the opposition
00:26:36
was a complicated process.
00:26:39
They had difficult and grueling sessions.
00:26:43
The opposition leaders had about 12 meetings.
00:26:48
Eventually, they decided to nominate Kılıçdaroğlu.
00:26:52
We can say his nomination was compromise.
00:26:55
If we take the ratings from early 2023,
00:26:59
he was ranked lower
00:27:00
than the more popular and energetic mayor of Istanbul Ekrem İmamoğlu
00:27:06
and Ankara's mayor Mansur Yavaş.
00:27:10
However, he was nominated. Not only because of his long service,
00:27:15
but also because of his being the leader of the country's main opposition power.
00:27:21
In early March, he was nominated as the single opposition candidate.
00:27:28
The main argument against his candidacy was only the fact
00:27:33
that he professes Alevism, a sect of mystical Islam.
00:27:36
This is a small religious community.
00:27:38
Turkey had to overcome its prejudice
00:27:41
and stop dividing people based on how correct a religion they profess is.
00:27:45
Some of six opposition parties' representatives
00:27:49
were against his candidacy.
00:27:51
But in the end, it was quite natural that the opposition leader
00:27:55
and presidential candidate was the leader
00:27:58
of the main and the largest opposition bloc –
00:28:01
the Republican People's Party.
00:28:05
He cooperated with a terrorist organization,
00:28:07
the Kurdistan Workers' Party.
00:28:09
He was on the side of those who killed our people, our soldiers.
00:28:13
How can I trust this man?
00:28:15
How can I vote for him?
00:28:17
How can we entrust our country to this man?
00:28:20
Kılıçdaroğlu has never said that he'd release or forgive terrorists.
00:28:26
The ruling party tried to exploit this
00:28:29
in order to shift voters’ attention from economic problems to ideology.
00:28:35
The United Opposition's program is a general, woolly, vague text
00:28:39
that focuses on future political transitions,
00:28:45
future economic reforms.
00:28:47
The opposition wants to return the country to a parliamentary system
00:28:52
instead of a presidential one, which was established under Erdoğan.
00:28:56
And this is probably the key and the only point
00:29:01
which absolutely all oppositionists agree on.
00:29:04
But there are many contradictions on other issues.
00:29:12
He was not elected. So, maybe he fell short of his target.
00:29:16
If there were no problems, he would win in the first round.
00:29:20
I believed in his victory, too.
00:29:22
But when preliminary results were announced in the evening,
00:29:25
we realized that everything wouldn't go the way we had expected.
00:29:28
It means he couldn't convey his views clearly enough
00:29:31
so that ordinary Turkish citizens would trust him.
00:29:36
He didn't convince me completely as well.
00:29:38
Even though I voted for the Republican People's Party,
00:29:43
I still don't believe him fully.
00:29:46
I don't know how he's going to act further.
00:29:49
To be honest, I didn't vote for the candidate
00:29:52
that was in my heart. I voted for the one
00:29:56
who had better chances to win.
00:29:58
I am a nationalist like Atatürk,
00:30:00
so I support Sinan Oğan
00:30:03
who also adheres to these views.
00:30:05
But Kılıçdaroğlu is Erdoğan's main rival,
00:30:08
so I voted for him.
00:30:11
I think you did, too, right?
00:30:13
Me too, yes.
00:30:22
What is the situation with women's rights in Turkey?
00:30:25
Can they express their opinion?
00:30:27
The situation with women's rights will get much worse
00:30:30
if law 6284 on the protection of women from domestic violence is repealed.
00:30:36
I am against the repeal of this law.
00:30:38
Today, I think it is possible
00:30:40
because of some of the conservative political parties
00:30:43
that have entered parliament. A woman has the right to choose
00:30:46
if she wants to wear a hijab or not.
00:30:49
But if the ruling party continues to be in power,
00:30:52
we will no longer have the opportunity to choose.
00:30:58
A woman can do whatever she wants in our country.
00:31:04
Of course, sometimes families can set boundaries for her.
00:31:06
It's a matter of every family's position.
00:31:09
But we have no restrictions in lifestyle and clothing style.
00:31:13
There are people in my circle who say women have no rights.
00:31:16
I ask them, "What weren't you able to do? Tell me."
00:31:20
No one can give a clear-cut answer.
00:31:28
Women don't come here. It's a cafe for men.
00:31:31
What will she do here? Let her stay at home and cook.
00:31:35
Women also sometimes meet in their own groups, but at home.
00:31:38
I'm speaking about the rules here, in rural areas.
00:31:41
Antalya is different. Women meet together
00:31:45
and go wherever they want, even to the beach.
00:31:47
Rural women are not used to it.
00:31:51
We are members of one culture.
00:31:54
The vast majority of Turks are Muslims.
00:31:57
We all believe in one god, one prophet.
00:32:00
We are united by one faith.
00:32:03
I'm a Muslim, too. But I don't think
00:32:06
that Turkey is getting too religious.
00:32:09
Turkey is still a secular state.
00:32:12
It continues to exist the way Atatürk founded it.
00:32:20
Erdoğan is following the path of Atatürk.
00:32:23
But some people try to demonize him
00:32:26
claiming that he deviates from this path.
00:32:28
Erdoğan is following the path of Atatürk.
00:32:32
In your opinion, is it Erdoğan or Kılıçdaroğlu who is closer
00:32:35
to Atatürk in their political views?
00:32:37
Kılıçdaroğlu.
00:32:39
And our main goal is to keep Atatürk's principles.
00:32:46
Over time, there were more people
00:32:47
within the Republican People's Party created by Atatürk,
00:32:50
who did not consider his principles so important.
00:32:54
This party ceased to be Atatürk's party.
00:32:57
The fact that all the candidates in Turkey mention Atatürk,
00:33:01
shows once again how important Atatürk is for Turkey.
00:33:05
But I don’t think
00:33:06
that the current government has made much progress
00:33:09
on issues of nationalism and secularism, democracy and protecting the rule of law,
00:33:14
which were Atatürk's main values.
00:33:17
Normally, it's a rare situation
00:33:19
for the president to rule the country for 20 years.
00:33:22
Mr. Erdoğan has been in power for too long.
00:33:25
He is tired, he can no longer come up with anything new,
00:33:28
and it would be better for him to leave his post.
00:33:31
First of all, I think that one person can't stay in power for this long.
00:33:39
At least, there should be some alternation of power.
00:33:41
We need a breath of fresh air.
00:33:46
I voted for the CHP and Kılıçdaroğlu.
00:33:51
People in local Russian chats are actively discussing
00:33:54
the fact that Kılıçdaroğlu hates Russians.
00:33:56
They are afraid that everyone will be deported at once.
00:33:59
Do you think this is really true?
00:34:01
I think that they mixed up two concepts.
00:34:04
The first one is immigrants. The second one is refugees.
00:34:11
When we speak about immigrants, many people mean refugees as well.
00:34:19
If we take Turkey, there are four million refugees here.
00:34:23
3.5 million of them are Syrians.
00:34:26
And when Kemal says that he will get rid of everyone,
00:34:29
it seems to me that this is not about Russian-speaking people.
00:34:34
We bring money into this economy.
00:34:36
I don't think that a sane person can hate
00:34:41
those who make his economy better, bring money into his country,
00:34:46
allows it to build new houses etc.
00:34:51
It's insane to hate them.
00:34:54
I have many Russian friends. A huge part of our clientele are Russians.
00:35:00
Here's the problem:
00:35:02
before Russians started coming here en masse,
00:35:04
the rent for a three-room apartment was about 2,000 liras.
00:35:10
And suddenly, someone rented out the same apartment
00:35:12
to Russians for 15-20 thousand liras.
00:35:15
Can you imagine the spike?! From 2,000 to 15,000 liras!
00:35:19
So, apartment owners began to put pressure on their tenants
00:35:22
and raise prices,
00:35:23
or offer them to move out. And why?
00:35:26
Because you pay 2,500 liras.
00:35:29
I can make you move out and rent it out for 40,000 liras.
00:35:33
And people pay that money! I myself rent an apartment
00:35:36
and have never-ending court trials. The owner wants to make me move out.
00:35:39
But the law in Turkey protects tenants.
00:35:42
The law protects me. I will stay in this apartment and won't go anywhere.
00:35:47
Did I get it right
00:35:48
that an ordinary Turkish citizen can't afford
00:35:51
to rent a decent apartment in a big city?
00:35:55
Yes, that's true. For example, we are now in Konyaaltı district.
00:36:00
Almost none of us can afford to rent something here.
00:36:04
Rent prices around the country have skyrocketed.
00:36:07
It's not the Russians who are to blame, but unscrupulous apartment owners.
00:36:11
They are the reason why prices grow. What do the Russians have to do with it?
00:36:14
They believe that these rent prices are real.
00:36:23
Most people who live here have tourist residence permits.
00:36:27
Why has there been a wave of refusals since December?
00:36:30
Under the current government.
00:36:32
It's not because they want to kick everyone out.
00:36:35
People did not come here for tourist reasons.
00:36:37
They can't prove that.
00:36:40
I can only speak for myself. I can speak for my friends.
00:36:44
Of course, everyone is nervous.
00:36:47
But we started to worry not yesterday or today.
00:36:50
We started to get nervous half a year ago.
00:36:52
Gradually, people started to understand the situation.
00:36:56
I think we all understood this since early 2022.
00:37:03
You realize that tomorrow
00:37:05
something may change for you.
00:37:07
And you always have to have plan B, C, D etc.
00:37:09
We all make these plans.
00:37:13
On the eve of the first round of presidential elections,
00:37:17
Kılıçdaroğlu made several important announcements
00:37:19
to the Russian leadership and society.
00:37:25
He said what he wants to develop relations with Russia.
00:37:29
He wants to make friends with Vladimir Putin.
00:37:32
In one of his messages, he emphasized
00:37:35
that he considers anger, aggression, and a hostile attitude
00:37:40
towards Russian people outside Russia to be wrong.
00:37:46
Is it true
00:37:47
that the United Opposition program doesn't touch
00:37:50
upon Russia and the events in Ukraine?
00:37:53
Nothing really was said there, right.
00:37:55
I think the opposition is just trying to avoid
00:37:58
this sensitive, this dangerous topic.
00:38:01
The opposition obviously did not and does not want
00:38:04
to harm itself in any way,
00:38:06
so that people would guilt-trip them about some statements.
00:38:09
The opposition avoids this topic.
00:38:13
As for the situation in Ukraine,
00:38:16
the opposition does not have any road map,
00:38:20
any clear plan
00:38:22
for the further development of relations with Moscow.
00:38:28
During the elections, there was a lot of discussion in the Turkish press
00:38:31
about the interference of Russian hackers
00:38:33
after Kılıçdaroğlu had published
00:38:35
a rather harsh appeal to his Russian friends on his Twitter.
00:38:38
"Dear Russian friends, you are behind the montages,
00:38:41
conspiracies, deep fake content and tapes
00:38:44
that were exposed in this country yesterday.
00:38:48
If you want continued friendship after May 15,
00:38:52
get your hands off the Turkish state."
00:38:57
As far as I know, not everyone, even in Kılıçdaroğlu’s closest circle,
00:39:02
understood this mysterious appeal.
00:39:05
I think it's because he has different advisers.
00:39:08
Some of them tell him that he needs to get closer to the Kremlin
00:39:12
and make friendly statements.
00:39:15
Others tells him that he needs escalation.
00:39:18
In my mind, this is mostly a ploy for his electorate, for the public.
00:39:24
I am sure that Moscow paid attention to these words though.
00:39:28
Some countries are trying to influence elections in other countries.
00:39:33
It is a fact.
00:39:34
It is known that Russia is very active on the Internet.
00:39:37
Perhaps Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu realized
00:39:39
that some of the sources of information had connections with Russia.
00:39:43
That's why he told Mr. Putin not to interfere.
00:39:46
A few months ago, when the opposition was trying to push
00:39:52
the rhetoric that if Erdoğan was to win,
00:39:59
he would to so with the help of the Russians and Putin.
00:40:05
And we were like, "Cool, they will unleash holy hell on us for that, too."
00:40:12
But it all grew still fast.
00:40:16
Well, generally...
00:40:19
Fortunately, or unfortunately,
00:40:21
Turkey doesn't have any strong anti-Russian sentiments.
00:40:33
Our president is a great leader, just like Putin.
00:40:36
I'm saying this not because you're interviewing me now.
00:40:43
I watch TV and see great deeds are being done.
00:40:48
And it's so heartwarming.
00:40:55
As a young man, I voted for the CHP.
00:40:59
We, young people, want new politicians.
00:41:01
Don't you think our country needs new politicians?
00:41:04
Maybe you'll change your mind?
00:41:06
When did you start your company?
00:41:10
In 2001.
00:41:12
So, it's been 22 years.
00:41:15
Why have you been in charge of it for so long?
00:41:18
For more than 20 years.
00:41:22
Don't mix the state and family.
00:41:25
Hand your company over to somebody
00:41:27
and watch it tumble down in a matter of several days.
00:41:30
I will do that when the time comes.
00:41:33
Come on, hand your company over.
00:41:35
My dad supports the AKP, I support the CHP.
00:41:42
Don't tell me that there's no democracy in Turkey.
00:41:46
Here it is.
00:41:47
Father and son root for different parties.
00:41:51
We can discuss it and vote for whoever we want.
00:41:55
My dad and I never get angry at each other.
00:41:57
My dad never forces me to change my mind.
00:42:03
Turkey does have democracy.
00:42:07
Everybody votes for whoever they want. There's no constraint.
00:42:10
I hope that our choice will never become forced.
00:42:17
When you criticize the incumbent authorities
00:42:21
on Twitter or other social media,
00:42:23
be sure they will knock on your door the next day.
00:42:26
They sometimes come even at night.
00:42:29
We don't have freedom of speech in this country.
00:42:34
I have remarkable examples from among my friends. Four years ago,
00:42:39
when people were re-posting some videos, or opposition statements,
00:42:43
or any other clips that were politically undesirable
00:42:49
on social media, on Facebook, for instance,
00:42:55
they went through sudden tax inspections
00:42:59
or other checks from different authorities.
00:43:03
This year, people have learnt from this bitter experience,
00:43:10
so they discuss political issues and their anti-establishment views
00:43:15
in private.
00:43:18
No one takes risks
00:43:21
and shows them publicly anymore.
00:43:28
A few more words about freedom of speech.
00:43:30
I wanted to interview some public sector employees:
00:43:34
an ordinary teacher or doctor.
00:43:36
But all of the people who we contacted told us the same thing.
00:43:40
This message reflects the gist of it.
00:43:43
This is a message from a teacher.
00:43:46
"I work in the public sector and I can say only good things about our government.
00:43:50
I can't say anything negative about my country."
00:43:53
In my opinion, freedom of speech in Turkey has drastically changed.
00:43:57
In recent years, many people have had problems
00:44:00
because of their views and statements.
00:44:03
Some were imprisoned, others got off with a fine.
00:44:06
Some even had to flee the country.
00:44:09
Suffice it to recall an article in the Criminal Code
00:44:13
about "insulting the president"
00:44:15
Before Erdoğan, very few people were charged with that.
00:44:20
Under Erdoğan, there have been hundreds and thousands of such cases every year.
00:44:27
You could end up in prison for a Tweet
00:44:30
or critical statements about the president.
00:44:33
So, people became more reserved.
00:44:37
In your opinion, is the case of Ekrem İmamoğlu, the mayor of Istanbul
00:44:41
a form of political repression?
00:44:44
Apparently, the court's decision against Ekrem İmamoğlu
00:44:49
in December of last year is politically motivated.
00:44:54
I think very few people even among Erdoğan's supporters doubt that.
00:44:58
He was sentenced to three years in prison
00:45:01
and was banned from any political activities for 5 years
00:45:04
because he criticized the government.
00:45:07
But in truth, İmamoğlu called the members of the Central Electoral Commission fools
00:45:13
because they had called him a fool, too.
00:45:17
It's clear that İmamoğlu was one of Erdoğan's most dangerous rivals
00:45:21
during the presidential elections.
00:45:26
This was one of the main reasons
00:45:28
why the opposition didn't choose İmamoğlu as their candidate.
00:45:35
The mayor of Istanbul, İmamoğlu, seemed to be the stronger candidate.
00:45:40
But he was brought up on trial.
00:45:42
So, it was risky. If İmamoğlu had won the elections,
00:45:45
the ruling party could resume the case
00:45:47
and remove İmamoğlu from his presidential post.
00:45:51
The opposition could not take such risks.
00:45:53
He is going through the appeals process now.
00:45:56
His fate depends on the results of the second round.
00:45:59
It is quite possible that İmamoğlu will be imprisoned
00:46:03
if Erdoğan wins,
00:46:06
because the whole judicial system bows to the president.
00:46:14
Russia and Turkey are among the countries
00:46:18
with the largest number of imprisoned journalists.
00:46:21
This shows that freedom of thought, freedom of expression
00:46:25
and freedom of communication are limited in these countries.
00:46:28
Turkey is no longer a democratic state.
00:46:31
But we can still have fair elections in our country.
00:46:37
Thanks to Atatürk, the people of Turkey received democracy as a gift.
00:46:44
The Turkish people did not fight for democracy, as Europe did, for example.
00:46:48
We didn't pay a price for that.
00:46:50
But we did pay a high price for our independence.
00:46:53
During the Turkish War of Independence, thousands of people died.
00:46:57
and Erdoğan became a representative of the people who value this independence.
00:47:01
Kılıçdaroğlu came with his democracy strategy only.
00:47:04
I think this is not completely right.
00:47:07
People in Turkey are not overfond of democracy.
00:47:09
So, this strategy was wrong.
00:47:15
A WEEK BEFORE THE SECOND ROUND
00:47:21
It seems to me that before the elections
00:47:24
there were approximately the same number of cars in the city
00:47:27
with the images of both candidates.
00:47:30
I can clearly see the roadway from here,
00:47:33
I watch cars. The number was approximately the same.
00:47:38
TV channels, most of the press and the Anadolu News Agency,
00:47:44
which is an important news outlet, worked only for Erdoğan all this time.
00:47:52
Suffice it to mention about the state TRT company,
00:47:58
which provided 32 hours to Erdoğan for campaigning in April,
00:48:03
while Kılıçdaroğlu had only 32 minutes. Feel the difference.
00:48:06
The nationalist-minded electorate played a huge role
00:48:10
this year and, perhaps, will still play.
00:48:14
Erdoğan managed to win these people over to his side at the last moment
00:48:21
due to his sharp rhetoric as well.
00:48:25
In the last days, he started to stigmatize the opposition
00:48:28
and Kılıçdaroğlu and call them terrorists, LGBT panderers,
00:48:33
betrayers of the nation etc.
00:48:35
This riled the nationalist electorate up right away.
00:48:39
Eventually, it was them who led Erdoğan to victory.
00:48:44
If you look at the breakdown of votes during these elections by regions,
00:48:48
then you can see that mostly small settlements
00:48:51
in the countryside vote for Erdoğan.
00:48:53
And the opposition wins in all big cities:
00:48:56
for example, here in Istanbul or Ankara.
00:49:00
The standard of living in coastal cities is higher.
00:49:03
There's a good level of education there. Many people in the East are uneducated,
00:49:07
and that is why right-wing politics are so popular there.
00:49:10
They get their votes from there,
00:49:11
and the leftist parties receive votes from Istanbul,
00:49:14
Izmir and the coastal areas.
00:49:16
At the moment, it is clear
00:49:18
that the population with the highest level of education
00:49:20
voted for Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.
00:49:27
Voters in the majority of small settlements belong
00:49:30
to the so-called conservative stratum.
00:49:33
There are many people who moved from various other places to big cities.
00:49:37
Therefore, there's a lot more political variability there.
00:49:43
Istanbul is like 100 states in one.
00:49:46
You can't say that everybody is a Kemalist here.
00:49:50
In young and liberal districts like Kadıköy and Beyoğlu,
00:49:58
everyone went to vote actively, of course.
00:50:01
But there are also conservative districts.
00:50:04
There are Arab areas where people live with the passports
00:50:12
that they bought under Erdoğan.
00:50:15
So, we can't say that all of Istanbul is for him.
00:50:18
The number of voters in one area balanced out the number in other disticts.
00:50:31
High election turnout has always been common for Turkey.
00:50:34
This year, Turks broke all the records. About 90% of people came to vote.
00:50:39
Let's admit, this figure is huge when it's real.
00:50:45
We visited several polling places,
00:50:49
there were crowds everywhere, there were queues everywhere.
00:50:56
Their voting stops earlier than in Russia, at five in the evening.
00:50:59
The parties write,
00:51:01
"Come to the polling stations, protect your votes."
00:51:04
Really, anyone can come in. It protects votes from changes.
00:51:09
And people do that.
00:51:12
At 9-10 PM, the commission finished working and transferred the data.
00:51:17
I see it as a great mechanism
00:51:19
that protects the voting system from massive electoral fraud.
00:51:23
I do not deny that stuffing may take place.
00:51:29
Just because I have a Russian mentality.
00:51:34
My Turkish friends are 100% sure that their elections are absolutely fair.
00:51:42
The only thing they can admit is a human factor,
00:51:45
some basic mistakes in calculations.
00:51:48
There were mistakes in counting votes.
00:51:50
Even in the polling place where I voted.
00:51:53
The difference was 28 votes. They counted it wrong.
00:51:57
I sorted it out. Everything was fixed.
00:52:01
I think there were plenty of such mistakes.
00:52:05
Even though observers and journalists said
00:52:07
the voting was generally fair,
00:52:10
the video of vote falsification in one of the villages
00:52:13
appeared on the internet.
00:52:15
There are many commissions – almost 200,000.
00:52:18
As the population of Turkey is growing, the number of commissions is growing, too.
00:52:22
Of course, something can happen in one of the 200,000 commissions
00:52:25
in such a diverse country.
00:52:27
As far as I remember, there was a fair question
00:52:31
about who could film this video so close-up
00:52:36
that you could see ticks for Erdoğan
00:52:39
and the falsifier didn't notice the camera.
00:52:43
It seems like it was some kind of hooliganism,
00:52:47
someone got into a fight, took the ballot away,
00:52:49
started doing it and filmed it on purpose.
00:52:58
If we compare these elections to the ones in Russia,
00:53:01
I can say they are fair and pretty transparent.
00:53:05
The opposition got used to watching the elections in recent years.
00:53:11
They control the voting and vote counting processes.
00:53:15
we can say that Erdoğan still does not have the same level of control
00:53:19
over the Central Election Commission
00:53:21
that he has over the judicial system.
00:53:23
Looking at the overall context, it seems like Erdoğan didn’t get around
00:53:27
to the electoral system? -Yeah, I guess so.
00:53:30
But he is approaching, he is stretching out his tentacles.
00:53:36
There's a high probability that he will succeed in it
00:53:39
if he wins on this election.
00:53:48
THREE HOURS AFTER THE POLLING STATIONS CLOSE
00:53:58
Erdoğan's supporters poured into the streets to celebrate his victory
00:54:01
after 80% of votes had been counted.
00:54:03
At that moment, it became clear that he was the winner.
00:54:06
In the first hours after the polling stations closed,
00:54:09
it was not obvious at all though.
00:54:14
Voting data varied widely.
00:54:16
The pro-government Anadolu agency
00:54:19
announced that Erdoğan was leading on the very first day
00:54:22
At the same time, another, independent, agency "Anka"
00:54:25
was reporting that Kılıçdaroğlu was the leader until evening.
00:54:29
It looked like a sports competition.
00:54:31
Eventually, Erdoğan won with a margin of only 4% of the votes,
00:54:35
which is about two million people.
00:54:38
A logical question comes to mind here: what is going to happen in Turkey?
00:54:41
Won't Erdoğan try to tighten the screws even more?
00:54:44
I don't think that Erdoğan will have to tighten the screws more.
00:54:48
He already has very broad powers.
00:54:51
He can be re-elected unlimited number of times.
00:54:57
The judicial system will support him if necessary.
00:55:04
He is planning to adopt a new constitution.
00:55:07
It's a matter of image for him, first of all.
00:55:10
He wants to abolish the Constitution
00:55:13
that was adopted after the military coup in the early 1980s.
00:55:20
Obviously, it's going to be even more pro-presidential
00:55:24
and give him even greater powers.
00:55:28
I think a very important factor will be the depressed opposition.
00:55:33
First of all, the oppositon coalition will fall apart.
00:55:37
Secondly, some people will be imprisoned.
00:55:41
Eventually, Turkey will fall into despotism
00:55:46
as they predict in the West.
00:55:51
There are all the grounds and prerequisites for this.
00:55:57
Turkey is a country that is on the path towards authoritarianism.
00:56:02
The elections take place even despite the limitations.
00:56:05
There are people with opposite views.
00:56:08
Almost a half of the Turkish population supports democracy.
00:56:12
I don't think that it's easy to exert pressure on these people.
00:56:16
Turkey can live through harder times,
00:56:19
but there going to be new elections in several years.
00:56:22
For example, mayoral elections of 2024.
00:56:25
I don't think that democracy will fade away for good.
00:56:29
At least, I hope that it won't happen.
00:56:33
The party leaders and those who are engaged in politics are too old.
00:56:41
Erdoğan is 69.
00:56:43
Life is not endless. He will have to hand over his power one day.
00:56:53
After the results had been announced, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu called
00:56:56
this election the most unfair election in Turkey's history.
00:56:59
But he didn't call for his supporters to go to the streets.
00:57:02
He only said that they needed to fight for democracy further.
00:57:05
Actually, mostly Russian Telegram channels and media were talking
00:57:08
about mass protests and even the risk of civil war in Turkey.
00:57:11
No one was expecting any riots here in Turkey.
00:57:14
All our interviewees were telling us that they don't think
00:57:17
any protests would happen.
00:57:25
Kılıçdaroğlu is no a political leader
00:57:28
who is ready to shed blood and escalate the situation.
00:57:32
I think he will admit his defeat.
00:57:36
I don't think that anyone in Turkey is ready to start bloodshed
00:57:39
because they have the example of Syria,
00:57:42
which has been embroiled in a civil war for more than 10 years.
00:57:46
I think that the Syrian example,
00:57:48
especially with the never-ending influx of refugees,
00:57:51
was very sobering for many people in Turkey.
00:57:53
There's a fat chance that this is going to happen.
00:58:02
Even if the opposition doesn't win, we respect everyone's vote.
00:58:06
It means that the majority of us sees our future like this.
00:58:09
We will live with it.
00:58:12
Don't forget that everyone is the architect of their own fortune.
00:58:18
The worst thing that our country did is
00:58:20
that they deprived us of the opportunity to make plans for our future.
00:58:24
Today, we can't make plans for more than one week.
00:58:32
I wouldn't like to live in Turkey. I would want to live in Russia.
00:58:37
But how can I say where I am going to be in a week or two?
00:58:42
We trust our state no matter who is in power,
00:58:49
no matter who is the leader.
00:58:51
We don't have another country. We are ready to welcome guests.
00:58:56
But we are not ready to be guests anywhere else.
00:59:03
Turkish people would love to live
00:59:05
like Norwegians or the Dutch do.
00:59:08
But Turks love their motherland very much.
00:59:11
I love it, too. No matter who is in power now,
00:59:14
be it Erdoğan or Kılıçdaroğlu, we are part of our country.
00:59:17
We are a part of our country. We will stay here no matter what.
