"Erdogan's Quarter-Century Rule: A Legacy of Turmoil or Triumph? As Recep Tayyip Erdogan celebrates a quarter-century at the helm of Turkiye, the country's trajectory under his leadership has been marked by significant milestones. Since taking power in 2003, Erdogan's Justice and Development Party (AKP) has implemented a series of policies aimed at strengthening democracy, driving economic development, and elevating Turkiye's global standing. However, critics argue that Erdogan's authoritarian tendencies and suppression of dissent have undermined the very foundations of democracy. As the country looks to the future, the question remains: will Erdogan's legacy be remembered as a triumph of visionary leadership or a quarter-century of turmoil?"
In a quarter-century, the party has strengthened democracy, driven development and elevated Turkiye’s global standing.
