"That was a fascinating elections, with huge dramas, massive failures in the opinion polls and one president Erdoğan who got another five years term. Although 84.3% went to the ballots, after 87.04% in the first round, we can say that president Erdoğan is still the most popular leader in Türkiye," the journalist said.
Shmuel Dean Elmas also opined about the failure of the main opposition party leader in this election.
"About Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, We can say the opposite: he went to three different elections and failed. Moreover, He led a six parties block and totally failed. Why? Because you can't believe that a block with so many different agendas will lead you to the lead in Ankara."

"From now on, I think Türkiye will have a big commitment like
taking more care about the current economic situation, especially
raising the Lira against the US dollar. The issue of inflation and
the situation of the Central Bank reserves will have to be put in
agenda and seriously considered within the five years term," he
added.
