Anyone expecting Erdogan to vanish quietly should probably think again. He has three options:
- He can delay the elections (a war, perhaps even the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, is the legal option for a delay).
- He can go for a harder dictatorship, just as Alexander Lukashenko did in Belarus.
- Or, Erdogan can hand over the presidency (though losing its protection would spell big trouble for both him and his family across the globe).
Erdogan will try any chance he gets. The risk of blood on the streets remains significant.
