As a result of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party, known as the AKP, failing to obtain a majority in the country’s major metropolitan municipalities during the municipal elections in March, the political atmosphere in Turkiye may become smoother.

A well-prepared meeting was held last week between Turkiye and Iraq. It involved the visit of a delegation led by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who was accompanied by an army of ministers.

The local elections held last week in Turkiye may herald the beginning of a new era in the country’s domestic politics.
