The future of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoฤanโs political career will be decided on May 14, when his Peopleโs Alliance will compete with the Nationโs Alliance in a presidential and parliamentary election round. Opposition parties hope to give a democratic and pro-Western boost to Turkey. The country is polarized and thus might be ready to make major changes, especially after 20 years of a single administration. Still, Mediterranean geopolitics are unlikely to be significantly affected regardless of the outcome. This is also true of Israeli-Turkish relations.
