minister again. now, it seems all but guaranteed that none of that will happen and president erdogan will continue to have all the levers of power in his hands, will undoubtedly feel emboldened, will feel he has a new mandate. western countries are going to have pretty much of a frenemy, if not an actual enemy, right in their midst. i think it's fair to say, john, that this wasn't the outcome that people were hoping for. turkey and the international community are looking at five more years of president erdogan. and he is a tricky customer. he is a combative leader. he has in the last few years got into rows with the greeks, with the french. he's annoyed the americans by being simultaneously a nato member — the only muslim nato member — but also buying a weapons system from russia. so he is somebody who is not afraid to ruffle feathers. in fact, he seems to enjoy it.
