Despite all this pressure and repression, the results were surprising, and this It indicates the courage of the people in Turkey, and the great support in the Kurdish regions for the opposition candidate for the presidency and the leftist Green Party was the most important.

"Erdogan's government poses a danger to everyone"

Noting that Erdogan's re-election poses a great danger to all peoples in Turkey, Vilumsen said: "This means continued repression of trade unionists, feminists and minorities.
