“…There is a notion that Turkish elections have become "free and unfair" because Turkey's political playing field is known to be massively tilted in Erdoğan's favour [37]. It has been described that Erdoğan or his supporters have autocratised the media, the judiciary, civil society and academia [38,39]. Our analysis suggests that it may be more appropriate to describe Turkish elections as "mostly free and unfair", as consistent trends of small but discernible electoral irregularities can be consistently found by electoral forensic tools.…”

Μια τέτοια προσέγγιση υποθέτει ότι οι διαδοχικές απόπειρες για συνταγματική αναθεώρηση στην Τουρκία έως και την πρόσφατη επιτυχή έκβαση του δημοψηφίσματος το 2017 για τη θέσπιση προεδρικού πολιτειακού συστήματος καταδεικνύουν μια απόπειρα του ΑΚΡ να καθιερώσει μία απολυταρχική ατζέντα (Esen & Yardimci-Geyikçi, 2019). Σε μια τέτοια προοπτική ελέγχεται τυχόν παραβίαση της διάκρισης των εξουσιών ως εκδήλωση απολυταρχικής πρώτη συνταγματική περίοδο της Οθωμανικής Αυτοκρατορίας, αλλά, όπως χαρακτηριστικά περιγράφει ο Rachel Simon (Simon, 1994), όχι και στην πραγματική ανατροπή της απολυταρχικής διακυβέρνησης.…”
