The world press named it: Invincible Erdogan! :
According to the EP, the decision from the ballot box will lead to results far beyond Ankara. BBC 'What can we expect from Erdogan, who is encouraged again?' asks the question. While The Guardian said, 'The West is caught between fear and hope', Ta Nea ran the headline, 'Farewell to Erdogan Kemal and is victorious over them all'.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan won the election, in which Turkey went to the polls for the first time in the second round, with 52 percent of the vote. Erdogan's victory is given in the headlines by the international media, which watches the elections second by second.
ASSOCIATED PRESS :
The American Associated Press (AP) news agency used the headline 'Erdogan wins another term as president, extending his power to the third decade'.
According to the agency, his third term as the president will give Erdogan even more strength in the local and international arena, and the choice that comes out of the ballot box will have consequences far beyond Ankara. Turkey is at the critical juncture of Europe and Asia while playing a key role in NATO.
FRANCE MEDIA AGENCY :
"Invincible Erdogan is extending his presidency to the second decade with the second round in Turkey," says the French news agency AFP. Noting that Erdogan, who won a historic second round, will be in power until 2028, he wrote that the Turkish leader called for national unity.
In another news in AFP, it was stated that world leaders congratulated Erdogan on his election victory. Stating that US leader Joe Biden emphasized working together against 'common global challenges', AFP said that in the message of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, the election victory was described as a 'natural outcome'. The news also included congratulations from NATO, the European Union, the United Nations, France, Germany and Ukraine, as well as the USA and Russia.
The broadcasting organization, which gave the election result in its headline, said, "What can we expect from Erdogan, who is encouraged again?" asks the question. In the news signed by the famous reporter Orla Guerin, he reminded that Recep Tayyip Erdogan sang along with his supporters and said that the Turkish leader is flawless when it comes to elections. Guerin, who stated that he read the voters better than the pollsters and analysts who predicted that Erdogan could be defeated before May 14, added: "This strategic NATO country has chosen its own path."
Turkey's election results have impacted its neighbors and NATO allies. They will be wary because President Erdogan relishes disrupting the established global order."
CNN INTERNATIONAL :
The American television channel CNN International appeared before its readers with the headline "Erdogan won his historic third term as president".
According to the news, hundreds of people gathered in front of the ruling AK Party's Istanbul provincial building after the preliminary results showed Erdogan ahead. Some came with their children, while others waved their flags, honked their horns, and set off flares and fireworks.
Speaking in front of the party headquarters in the middle of the celebrations, Erdogan supporter Denel Anart said, "I hope he lives forever. He is my father, grandfather, and uncle. He is my everything."
CNN added that many polls were wrong by predicting that Kilicdaroglu would finish the May 14 elections ahead.
NEW YORK TIMES :
The American newspaper The New York Times presented the election results on its first page with the headline 'Despite inflation, earthquakes and a head-to-head race, Erdogan was re-elected'. In the news spot, he wrote that Erdogan showed little sign of any intention to change course in domestic politics or foreign policy, which angered his Western allies.
THE GUARDIAN :
The headline of the analysis in the British newspaper The Guardian was "While Erdogan is prolonging his 20-year rule in Turkey, the West is caught between fear and hope".
According to the analysis penned by Patrick Wintour, re-elected Erdogan could bring his NATO member country closer to Russia or be more open to alternatives instead.
According to Wintour, Western capitals remained silent throughout Turkey's election process:
Erdogan has been given a mandate to serve a third term :
The analysis noted that the first test in the new period will be the NATO summit, where Turkey will be asked to lift its veto on Sweden's NATO membership. According to Patrick Wintour, US leader Joe Biden is willing to lift the embargo and support the $20 billion F16 jet sales and turn a new page with Turkey. But the US president must first convince the leaders of the House of Representatives and Senate foreign affairs committees to approve the sale. Michael McCaul, the Republican chairman of the House foreign affairs committee, recently signaled flexibility, saying they intend to support the sale if Sweden's NATO issue is resolved.
Besides, the West; supports Erdogan's plans to de-escalate tensions with his neighbors, including Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt, and Armenia.
TA NEA :
Greek newspaper Ta Nea, with the headline "Goodbye to Erdogan Kemal and victorious against everyone alone", noted that the Turkish leader, who has completed 21 years in the administration, has now entered his third decade of power.
FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE :
The German Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper ran the headline "Erdogan: We are together until the grave".
THE WEATHER :
Choosing the headline 'Invincible Erdogan won the election', French Le Temps says, "The president, who has been in power for twenty years, won the second round of the elections. Erdogan, surfing the nationalist wave, declared victory despite the unprecedented unity of his opponents."
THE EXPRESS :
The Swedish press, on the other hand, discussed the NATO issue after Erdogan won the elections. In his analysis on Sunday evening, Expressen's Mats Larsson wrote that the congratulations of NATO leaders were not sincere and that the person who was most happy with Erdogan's victory was Russian leader Putin.
