Turkey's Erdogan Says He Will No Longer Talk to Greek PM : Erdogan accuses the Greek leader of antagonistic behavior against Turkey

Turkey's Erdogan Says He Will No Longer Talk to Greek PM
Quick Glance: Will the Turkish opposition leader's Alevi faith be a hindrance in the polls?
  • According to the same polls, the CHP mayors of Ankara and Istanbul, as well as Meral Aksener, the head of the right-wing nationalist Iyi Party, would all defeat Erdogan in a runoff election.

  • However, it's becoming clearer by the day that 73-year-old Kilicdaroglu wants to run.

  • Turkey's Alevis have experienced centuries of brutality and prejudice at the hands of the country's Sunni Muslim majority, arguably none more so than the Kurdish Alevis of Dersim or Tunceli, from whence Kilicdaroglu belongs.

  • Tarik Celenk, a devout conservative scholar, believes Kilicdaroglu's Alevi faith will have little impact on his fortunes.
