ISTANBUL/ANKARA - Turkey’s military incursion in Syria has given President Tayyip Erdogan a bump in opinion polls and exposed potential cracks in an informal political alliance that claimed surprise victories over his ruling party in local elections this year.
Erdogan’s popularity had come under pressure after last year’s currency crisis caused a recession that sent unemployment soaring, and also from criticism by former prominent AKP members who are expected soon to launch new parties. The leftist HDP, mainly backed by Kurds who make up some 18% of the population, is the only major party opposing the mission.
“It has created a disenchantment but in my opinion this is not irreparable. The period ahead of us will be a period in which... the relationship of trust will be established again.” The CHP and Iyi Party have 139 and 39 seats respectively in Turkey’s 600-seat parliament. They both backed a mandate extending military operations in Syria and Iraq while the HDP, with 62 seats, opposed it as a violation of international law.
