NATO allies are travelling to Madrid for a historical summit. Sweden & Finland still at the doorsteps. It would be a good time to revisit our in-depth study for @EP_ForeignAff for understanding Turkish foreign policy & relations with its Western allies 👇

There are millions of votes that are not reflected in the final results, mostly from regions that are led by the opposition. YSK announced that only 71% of votes are counted. Important to wait for the final results before concluding tonight. Still, a second round is most likely.

My grandfather was born in Crete and then came to Turkey in this population exchange. His mother never spoke anything else than Greek - i am told. They never forgot their past - some passed on the language (and the story).
