Turkish President Elections: Putin may lose a key ally from NATO countries - the media

Konda's research company showed that Kilichdaroglu, a chief opposition candidate, headed by the Livo -Centered Republican People's Party, is leading with a level of support 49. 3%. Turkey's presidential elections, which are planned for the coming Sunday, May 14, can affect relations with the Russian Federation, whose President Vladimir Putin is considered a close ally of Recep Taiip Erdogan. About it reports Newsweek.

Putin declared the importance of relations with Turkey last month during a virtual meeting dedicated to the opening of the first nuclear power plant in Turkey. ASC "Ak" worth $ 20 billion was built by a Russian corporation "Rosatom". Putin noted the investments of the Russian Federation in Turkish energy and stated that a new economic sector is being created, which hinted at the candidate whom the Kremlin would support in the upcoming elections.

Konda's research company showed that Kilichdaroglu, the Chief Opposition Candidate, headed by the Livocentrist Republican People's Party, is leading with 49. 3% support, while Erdgana supports 43. 7% of the population. Other surveys also speak in favor of the opposition candidate. The likelihood of victory of the rugged increased even more after Muharram India, another presidential candidate and a former member of the Turkish National Assembly, refused to participate in the presidential race.

Will Turkey's policy on the Russian Federation and Ukraine change? Even if he wins the Turkish policy on Ukraine and the Russian Federation, apparently, it remains more or less unchanged, James Jeffrey, a former US Ambassador to Iraq and Turkey, believes. Turkish-Russian policy will remain in the provision of "victory over Russian expansionism", the diplomat said.
