  • Something I am genuinely curious about. Would you mind to share your opinion? I cannot understand or read Turkish so cannot check firsthand.

    I heard Erdoğan gets even better election scores from the Turkish community living abroad than at home. Yet his political and social views are said to be rather conservative and thus often different than the general opinions in the countries where these Turkish people live.

    This seems at odds with what I saw living abroad, my fellow countrymen abroad very much voted for the most moderate candidates. The far left and far right, or the socially conservatives did not get large scores at any election.

    Why does he enjoy such popularity do you think? What makes him so successful with that population?
