Etyen Mahcupyan
Last week, President Erdogan's Party lost its parliamentary majority. HARDtalk asks Etyen Mahcupyan, former senior adviser to Turkey's Prime Minister - how does he see the result?
Recep Tayyip Erdogan has dominated Turkish politics, first as prime minister now as president, for more than a decade. Last week, his Justice and Development Party, known as AK, lost its parliamentary majority. With it went Mr Erdogan's dream of a more powerful presidency. Etyen Mahcupyan was until recently senior adviser to the Prime Minister. Does he see the result as a verdict on the President's authoritarian streak, his intolerance of dissent, anger over corruption or a stuttering economy? Etyen Mahcupyan says AK will win many more elections to come - but will President Erdogan?
