Abstract

The article discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has improved the declining popularity of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Topics include how pro-government media praised Turkey's public health strategy to fight the virus, the economic issues confronting Erdogan like the high unemployment rate, the divided political opposition, and the potential of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu of the Republican People's Party (CHP) to challenge Erdogan in 2023.
