A cover story in The Economist billed it as the "Most Important Election of 2023.” On May 28, Turkish voters headed back to the polls to decide a contest that pitted President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan against opposition candidate Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. The election was a referendum on, among other things, Erdoğan’s economic policies, response to the earthquake, and balancing of Moscow and Washington. And Erdoğan won, hands down. Please join Hudson Senior Fellow Michael Doran as he moderates a discussion with a panel of experts on Turkish politics to unpack what this decisive victory means for US-Turkey relations, the war in Ukraine, and the balance of power in the Middle East.
