Erdogan and the dream of conquering Istanbul again

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, these days all the media Turkey is talking about who Erdoğan is going to send to face Akram Imamoglu for the position of mayor of Istanbul? The election of the mayors of Mande and Imamoglu officially announced yesterday Saturday that he will not leave the field and asks the people of Istanbul to trust him once again.

In the local elections of Turkish municipalities In 2019, for the first time, the three strategic fortresses of Istanbul, Ankara and Adana fell into the hands of Erdogan’s opponents. It is said that the People’s Republic Party, as the most important opposition party to Erdogan, gained such confidence from this victory that in the years after that, it practically shook the foundations of the throne of Erdogan and the ruling party.

As a result, now it is important for Erdogan to take back these three fortresses, and among them, it is Istanbul that is of vital importance. Since the day when the key to the strategic fortress of Istanbul fell into the hands of Imamoglu, Erdogan has not been calm and now he wants to go forward with confidence and peace of mind in the path of his political goals by reconquering this fortress.

Who will be nominated?

Ahmad Khaqan Editor Hurriyet newspaper and one of the journalists who always accompanies Erdoğan on his domestic and foreign trips wrote that the leaders of the Justice and Development Party have advised Erdoğan to introduce the former Minister of Urban Development and Housing, Murad Kurum, as a candidate.

Khaqan says that there is a 75% probability of introducing Chrome, but the problem is that he is not a powerful orator, he does not have a special charisma, and he cannot show his strength against the popular and experienced Imamoglu. slow As a result, some leaders of the Justice and Development Party asked Erdogan to send a national hero against Imamoglu and suggested two names to him: Designer and producer of Turkish drones and Erdogan’s son-in-law.

2. Ali Yerli Kaya, the Minister of the Interior, who has presented a very brilliant record in the fight against mafia and terror in these few months as a minister. It has been praised even by Erdogan’s opponents. /1397/07/22/1397072210454768715648824.jpg”/>

According to many analysts, spending any of the above two names is detrimental to Erdogan. Because Erdogan has practically introduced his little son-in-law as a national brand and it has recently become clear that he paid the highest tax to the government among the rich people of Turkey in 2022 and by depositing a huge amount of 550 million lira, practically He has become the hero of paying taxes!

But Orensal newspaper wrote from the platform of Erdogan’s opponents: “Erdogan gave his son-in-law 600 million liras from the national funds to be used in drone research.” Slow! So no tax has been paid and this is all propaganda!”

It is said that Yerli Kaya, the Minister of the Interior, is also trying to do something to put Turkey’s name on the list of well-known countries fighting money laundering. and it is a pity that such a person becomes mayor.

Erdogan also ordered several expensive exploration ships to be named after Ottoman kings, including Sultan Yavuz, Abdul Hamid, Suleiman the Righteous, and even Ottoman admirals. Because basically, Erdogan believes that the Seljuks and Ottomans should only be understood under the banner of power, glory, and might. This is why he openly talks about his indescribable love and mania for Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and Sultan Mohammad Fateh.

The personality of Sultan Muhammad Fatih who took Constantinople from the Byzantines According to Erdogan, he is one of the most popular historical figures and has become an important symbol and symbol for him. , sought to introduce himself as Sultan Fatih II. Of course, he has also announced many times in his election campaigns that during his tenure as the mayor of Istanbul, he has transformed this city from a dirty and disorganized garbage dump into a big metropolis.

Why is Istanbul important for Erdogan?

Istanbul, the heart of economic developments, Turkey is cultural and social. According to Erdogan himself, the person who controls this city can rule all of Turkey. As a result, he is afraid of Imamoglu’s political future and believes that Imamoglu is a potential president who can pull the rug from under the feet of the ruling party.

Capitalization Foreign investors, the attraction of millions of foreign tourists, the establishment of large foreign companies, the Istanbul Stock Exchange, the attempt to establish a new crossing to connect Istanbul and Marmara to the Black Sea, and the sale of hundreds of hectares of expensive land, are other important aspects that will make Erdogan win in Istanbul.
