Turkey's local elections in Istanbul and Ankara in March 2014- the AKP and a deeply divided Turkey
04/01/2014
The election of AKP party members in Istanbul and Ankara mayoral elections, with the AKP winning over half the vote and the CHP and other parties splitting the remaining votes. As the WSJ editorial on the same day points out the economic boom on which the AKP contested the election is already coming to an end with the end to surging credit. By winning just over half the vote in an election with suppression of freely expressed media opinion, the AKP has left Turkey as badly divided as before. The rise of the AKP based on Turkey's economic performance for the last decade, may lead the AKP to lose sight of the fact that this was for a significant part an improvement that has taken place across all emerging markets from Brazil to India, and which is gradually unwinding. A deeply divided nation will find it difficult to attract the kind of foreign investment Turkey needs to move forward, especially considering that credit expansion and foreign investment has financed Turkey's boom, not its manufacturing competitiveness.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
