Politico: Erdogan, once again entering the five-year term of power, has all the opportunities to influence not only the direction of the development of democracy in the country but also the formation of politics in the region and beyond.
Washington Post: Turkey’s foreign allies, including the US, will have to deal another five years with a “thorny partner” who has used relations with international players for domestic political gain.
