With an eye on the polls, the Turkish leadership, among others, is escalating its provocations against Greece and launching air strikes in Syria, while Recep Tayyip Erdogan made sure his handshake with Egyptian President Sisi was captured on camera.
Moves that have sparked domestic debate about the possibility of early elections, which were normally due to be held on 18 June 2023. However, there is a legal obstacle that Erdogan wants to circumvent and a symbolic date.
The hurdle Erdogan wants to overcome and the symbolic date
Following the announcement of the date of the entrance exams for Turkey's universities to be held on 17-18 June[/B] and because the date of the Byramiu falls on 29 June, reports indicate that June has been ruled out for the holding of the presidential and parliamentary elections in Turkey, according to the ERT correspondent.
The preferred date seems to be 14 May so these elections can be considered early and thus circumvent the legal obstacle that the president cannot be elected for a third time unless it is an early election.
It should be noted that 14 May is particularly symbolic as it is the day of the parliamentary elections (14 May 1950) on which Adnan Menderes, for whom President Erdoğan has great admiration, became Prime Minister.
