The upcoming Turkish elections on May 14th could be the most consequential of the republic’s history, having important implications for the future of democracy in the country as well as the Middle Eastern and beyond. For the first time in its 21-year rule, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan faces a critical test against a united opposition led by Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. Will the recent earthquakes affect the outcome of the elections? If he looses, will Erdoğan allow for a peaceful transition of power? How will the elections results affect relations with the EU?

Join us for a roundtable discussion of the first-round election results with our expert panel.
