At his Beştepe residence in Ankara, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan addressed a crowd of supporters and declared that the country had endured and prevailed over what he framed as “dirty games.” The moment captured a critical milestone for Erdogan, who secured a second-round victory with 52 percent of the vote. The claim, echoed in his remarks, was that a concerted effort by opponents aimed to destabilize the government and shake public confidence, but those efforts, he said, had failed to alter the nation’s course. He urged supporters to consider the evolving alliances and power blocs that had formed against his team in recent months, signaling a test of political resilience amid a tense national climate.
