The Wire with Caeden

After a tight race, President Erdoğan and his right-wing nationalist Justice and Development Party (AK Party) have won the second runoff of Türkiye's presidential election. 

Erdoğan, who has been in power for 20 years, has been accused of dismantling human rights protections and democracy by cracking down on critics and political opponents.

News and Editorial Director Jessica Hopkins spoke to Associate Professor of Politics and International Relations at the University of Auckland Stephen Hoadley about the current political climate in Türkiye.

First, she asked Hoadley about what Erdoğan has been like as a leader. 

Then, she asked Hoadley about Erdoğan's relationship with other countries.

Lastly, Hoadley discussed Aotearoa's relationship with Türkiye.
