ALAN ROJ/ NEWS DESK

ANHA agency interviewed Croatian writer and journalist Katerina Pavicic-Ivila and the Kurdish journalist Bashar Dorkut on the early elections dimensions. The two have evaluated the crisis in the country under this announcement by Erdogan's government and commented on the situation.

Erdogan's upcoming elections embody the fluctuations in the Turkish regime...!

Katerina said, commenting on Erdogan's early election as "This is nothing more than a spectacle designed to preserve his iron fist and expand his political power." Commenting on Turkey's internal and external political situation, these early elections are nothing more than a spectacle designed to preserve the crumbling lid of democracy- and it is a concept that was not long in the context of Erdogan's rule - in the eyes of the world, but also meant hiding the fragile and unsustainable position of AKP Party, as a ruling party now. "

"In the midst of the economic problems looming on the horizon because of the Emergency state characterized by extreme inflation and violation of the illegal state of Rojava territory in Afrin, in addition to war crimes and human rights violations coupled with severe restrictions on expression freedom, all of which were accepted by the Turkish citizens, as we saw during the #Tamam campaign, and these reasons are certainly likely to overthrow Erdogan, and that is why if he had waited until November, 2019, it would have been a major threat.

Erdogan staying in office will leave the country in unrecoverable chaos

Croatian writer and journalist Katrina believes that no matter how Erdogan appears to be an electoral winner, this victory will not reflect the AKP's power of influence because of its persecution under the country's emergency. "Erdogan benefits from the emergency state and weak opposition, Because of the arbitrary persecution that resulted in the arrest and detention of more than 136,995 and the arrest of 77,524, the most important of which is the arrest of the co-chair of the Democratic Peoples Party, as well as the minimum transparency and manipulation of the voting process, so this victory will not be a force and influence, but will come with risks "She said.

"Erdogan's presidential career may continue, but the step we have discussed above is still more than an expression of fear," she said, "fear of the loss of internal support caused by the terrorist activity of the border in Syria, coupled with an imminent economic collapse, will already leave the politically troubled country in the impending chaos that the AKP may never be able to overcome."

AKP seeks to keep the currently available, no more!

For his part, the journalist Bashar Dorkot, noted the weakness and fear of Erdogan and his party for the wrong policies they have committed over the past years. "As the nation state and its mentality are falling one by one in the Middle East, from Palestine, Yemen and Iraq through Egypt, Tunisia, to Syria, Erdogan's government is trying hard to protect the current regime, its direct entry into North Syria and the occupation of Afrin and Başûr Kurdistan and his absolute hostility to the Kurdish people everywhere is a reaction of that mentality.

The state committed war crimes, and its announcement of early elections came before any explosion that might happen at home

"Although the press and the media are all under the control of the party and no one is talking about these issues, the Turkish occupation of Syrian areas will open the way to significant problems, they are violating international laws and customs interference and occupation of the territory of another country as well as the war crimes and massacres in Afrin, will drag the state to international courts.

As for Erdogan's rush to hold early elections, the journalist Bashar Dorkot explained that the latter's gathering of mercenary gangs at specific points near their borders and supporting them with the necessary economic situation and their expansion in the south and west of Kurdistan will inevitably lead to a major military, political, economic and social crisis, as well as suffocating internal crisis due to the emergency law, arbitrary arrests and legal violations that have created great anger among the opposition public, so, before any possible social explosion, the Justice and Development Party seeks to reach the elections.

At the end of his comment on the political and social situation in the Turkish interior and north Kurdistan, journalist Bashar Dorkot said, "For the Kurdish people and the other oppressed Turkish people, these elections are historic. The AKP's crimes are no less than the Union and Promotion's crimes in the past in Kurdistan and Turkey, and this party seeks to revive the Union and Promotion again, so everyone sees his hope in the Democratic Peoples Party because it alone changes the balance and turns it upside down and the opposition also agrees with the AKP and its government in the denial and annihilation of the Kurds, therefore, 24 June elections are a historic opportunity for democratic and peace-seeking force.
