The ongoing negotiations between the AK Party and MHP..

As the number of dead YPG militants increases and Turkish-backed forces advance toward the center of Afrin, there will be a more determined effort to limit and ultimately render Operation Olive Branch unsuccessful

Political analyst, Nebi Miş, said the AK Party and MHP's possible election alliance is a necessary tactical move with the new presidential system, while the main opposition CHP has failed to create a long-term policy to challenge the other bloc

Political parties' debates over their campaigns for the 2019 elections have already started, signaling that 2018 will be very challenging

Turkey's enemies have mobilized their forces to ensure that the trial can be used against the entire country. To be clear, they take the allegations out of context in an effort to influence public opinion.

The 2019 elections are too critical to be "left" to Turkey's domestic politics alone. We cannot expect European capitals, which blatantly developed an attitude against the April 16 referendum, and the Gulf States, which acted implicitly, to remain silent in these elections.

In recent years, the main discourse of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) has been to be "National and Native."

There is a smear campaign that started ahead of the April 2017 constitutional referendum that aims to prevent Erdoğan's re-election in 2019

The positive atmosphere following the Yenikapı rally against the July 15 coup attempt where all leading political party representatives and their supporters came from various political backgrounds, was a great opportunity for a better future in Turkey, yet the CHP leader unfortunately chose to stay out of this unity

Kılıçdaroğlu opted to polarize society in an attempt to have Erdoğan voted out of power in the next election cycle.

The tumultuous atmosphere in Hamburg reminded me of the night of July 15 in Istanbul when Turkish people were on the streets to stand up Gülenist coup plotters

With the first anniversary of last summer's coup attempt – one of the most significant events in the history of Turkey's multi-party democracy – around the corner, all parties must act with due care and vigilance. Both security forces and protesters need to act responsibly

All major political movements in Turkey have already started planning for the 2019 election

It would be very wrong to compare the April vote with previous constitutional reforms, which were forcefully created by the representatives of the coup tradition

The CHP leadership wants to make sure that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan won't be able to get re-elected even if Turkey adopts a presidential system of government

If the 'no' campaign wins the constitutional referendum, the circles seeking to damage Turkey's national interests will find a gateway to meddle in Turkish politics

CHP spread fear and fuel hatred against Muslims, immigrants and refugees. They resort to racism. As such, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu appears to have positioned himself as the Turkey branch of European far-right extremism.
