Ankara: Turkish President Erdogan is back in the news after missing the election campaign for two days due to health issues. Shocking everyone, the President of Turkey appeared in video footage of the inauguration of the Russian-made nuclear power plant in Turkey with Vladimir Putin.
Turkey will hold elections on May 14. The inauguration of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant, which is expected to attract a large number of votes, coincides with the peak of the election campaign.
Russia initiated this project in 2018. The construction of the Akkuyu plant on Turkey’s southern coast was halted after Western countries imposed sanctions on Russia in response to the attack on Ukraine.
Turkey is a non-participant in Western sanctions against Russia. Erdogan is one of the few world leaders who gets along well with Putin. He was the mediator in the talks to end the war in Ukraine.
This is the most crucial election to be held in Turkey in decades. There is a heated debate going on with opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu. The nuclear power plant is an infrastructure project that is expected to influence voter decisions in elections.
President Erdogan was absent from the election campaign due to an intestinal illness. In the opening video, the 69-year-old leader appeared tired as well. But this is all propaganda, and Erdogan and his AK Party will fight back and defeat it, Erdogan’s media director, Fahrettin Altun , said.
Erdoan’s Islamic Party continues to rule in collaboration with far-right organisations. This relationship is also under threat. Health Minister Derya Yanık said that there is baseless propaganda about President Erdoğan’s health. Erdoğan is recovering.
