Sounds like the fix is in.😆
Another tyrant
Ooof not a good look
LMAO! I sense an implicit threat in these words.
your opposition doesn’t wear bullet proof vests for no reason
lol the election will be rigged
So, when should people expect another “coup”? On 14th, or a few days later?
Tayyip Erdoğan vs Recep Erdoğan
Really now?

From an interview today.
DeepL Translation:
President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan responded to the question “What will be your attitude if you lose the election?” in a joint broadcast: “We did not compromise on the supremacy of the national will. The People’s Alliance is the guarantee of democracy in this country. The People’s Alliance, which consists of the unity of parties that have internalized democracy, will accept every result of the ballot box as legitimate.”
Erdoğan participated in a joint broadcast on 4 channels. Answering questions on the agenda, Erdoğan made a new statement regarding the election results.
To the question “What will be your attitude if you lose the election?” Erdoğan gave the following answer:
“The People’s Alliance will accept every result of the ballot box as legitimate”
“I find it absurd to evaluate this question. This kind of question would only be asked to terrorist organizations. We came to power democratically. If our nation decides differently, we will do exactly what democracy requires. There is nothing else to do. When the CHP took IBB in Istanbul, did our mayor say no, we will not leave?
The CHP mentality would not leave. I believe in my nation, those who do not respect the result of the ballot box have no respect for the nation
We did not compromise on the supremacy of the national will. The People’s Alliance is the guarantee of democracy in this country. The People’s Alliance, which consists of the unity of parties that have internalized democracy, will accept every result of the ballot box as legitimate
We expect the same commitment from our opponents. They are obsessed with ballot box security. The ballot box is the honor of democracy. Put your men there and don’t leave them short.”
Perhaps maybe some context, Erdogan said earlier ‘they will fight like July 15th’ referring to the Failed Coup of 2016.
But the military made a statement how it will ‘stay out of politics’ giving also a warning to Erdogan.
Maybe, or maybe not.
But the opposition is looking good to win the 1st round, unless Erdogan wants to go down a path that will expose him, God knows what.
he says opposition voters are terrorists
Until he loses. Then it’s clobberin’ time!
Which Erdoğan said that? Tayyip Erdogan or Recep Erdoğan? He is trying to U turn.
You forget to mention he exampled the İstanbul elections at the end of his words here OP. Little reminder in Istanbul elections his party lost it and he didn’t like the result and made whole election again to lose again.
wrong sub, you should send this to r/memes
Can’t wait to read this again on r/agedlikemilk
I suspect that he already saw how to do it;

…and he added: Just as we respected the results of the Istanbul municipal elections.
spoiler alert: he did not respect the result , re-elected and lost again.
even if it seems positive, what a shame to hear a sentences like that. i believe that Turkey will have regained their reputation about republic institutions.
Then you surely won’t mind if we observe the election *really* closely.
Press x to doubt
So believable, this potentate.
That only means he expects to win. Or still hopes to.
This means that he has completed election rigging preperation.
And other lies we tell ourselves
Until it’s not in my favor
