  1. It won’t matter guys..John Bolton has an entire campaign devoted to regime change in Turkey ( just like he did in ever country in the world ) but the opposition will def keep peace with Syria and keep them in the Arab league. So the Kurds will strike a deal with Assad and if the US doesn’t remove troops from Syria they will die and it will be his fault and Blinkins. But of course you’ll blame Russia

  2. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ♥️🇹🇷

  3. I'd be shocked if he just leaves.

  4. Watching Turkish elections from London? What a media channel!

  5. Hopefully Erdogan has dominion voting machines.

  6. Voting for Erdogan is no brainer.

    If your enemies want Erdogan out, that would only mean Erdogan is the right leader for your nation.

  7. Erdogan should win here. The further away from western influence, the better.

  8. Was just there for some months and didnt meet any fans. Economy is a huge issue. Also met couple who had to go thru hoops to vote properly. On another note… the us previois potus got played by him and russia and we lost a stronghold while terrorists were let go and allies left defenseless. Had everything to do with hotels and malls in Istanbul for personal gain and nothing to do with foreign policy to benefit the greater good.

  9. Turkey is the most human right abuser in the world, no minority group worldwide is oppressed as badly as the Kurds in Turkey, an entire ethnic and linguistic population is labelled as terrorist!

  10. Oust the Russian collaborator.

  11. Erdogan is an usurper and bad man.

  12. Turkey, Armenian genocide deniers🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲

  13. Iranian Hezbollah and Hezbollah Iraq and Kurdish ‘ Syria around dictated Erdogan has to all destroyed from Turkey and Turkish people ‘

  14. PRESIDEN ERDOGAN IS GOING TO PRESIDENT AGAIN BECAUSE TURKISH PEOPLE 54% GOING TO VOTE HIM YOUR RESERCH IS WRONG

  17. I don't trust western news special American media the are anti ordeghan

  18. I love how the news complain about turkeys leader and inflation but won’t call out their own leader cause of inflation. 😂

  19. We already know your propaganda leaders hate him because he won’t do as he’s told and they couldn’t coup there way to owning turkey.

  20. Oh, no worries, he will pull a miracle come-from-behind victory.

  21. Don't be surprised if there's a massive voter fraud charge by the ruling party

  22. Enough with dictators in power! He did some good but also plany of damage.

  23. Felicitaciones al ganador

  24. CIA doing a great job in Turkey

  25. Well the west wants a puppet instead of a man loved by his people!

  26. Hallie is a weird name for a man…even today.

  27. This news fake Erdogan 50

  28. If the west,USA,israel are against Erdogan.That means Erdogan is doing good things for Turkey and the Turks.The West,USA and israel grabbed and control the opposition that's why You hear favorable things about the opposition.

  29. I am sure turkey prime minister Mr. Ardugan 100%

  30. Down with the islamic dictatorship.

  31. ❤❤❤Erdoja 60%Rijarb vot

  32. ill be shocked if Erdogan goes away peacefully but we know his playbook by now

  33. Erdoğan will rig the elections. He's not leaving Power unless in a coffin.

  34. Im predicting a "suprise" landslide victory for Erdogan once all the "votes" are "counted".
