We probably know him all and we know that he is a turkish politician and since 28th of August 2014 he is the 12th president of Turkey. In the beginning of his time as a president he democratized the country and started economic reforms.
Since 2010 he starts to become authoritarian and he concentrates on strengthen his power in the country.
In 2016 there was a military coup with the target to bring down the turkish government. Since then Erdogan wants to bring back the death penalty and he wants to change the parliamentary system into a presidential system which gives him more power because now as a prime minister he has more a representative role.

What do you guys think? Is Recep Tayyip Erdoğan an issue and could he become a dictator? Write down your opinion in the comments below!

In my opinion he coul become a problem to the whole world because his country is pretty strong and if he has all the power he could become a dictator like we have seen them in history. As a german I think that we have to care for that he doesn't become a dictator with all the power on his shoulders. But if we talk about Erdogan we should definetly talk about Wladimir Wladimirowitsch Putin, too.
This is why I want to talk with you about Putin tomorrow in the next 'Contemporary Issue Time'.

Many greets from ironos!
