Perspective – Journalist Claude Guibal: Turkey’s Erdogan ‘is pragmatic and a chameleon’
Issued on:
It’s now been 20 years since Recep Tayyip Erdogan rose to power in Turkey. Either way you look at it, he has undeniably transformed the country. For his supporters, he has turned Turkey into a regional powerhouse and rolled back secularism often associated with the West. But for critics, he has put the country on a more Islamist, even authoritarian path. Claude Guibal is a journalist specialised in the Middle East and creator of a podcast series on the Turkish president. She joined us for Perspective.
