What Does Erdogan Want?

For over two decades, the nation of Turkey has been under the control of one man. At home he's amassed a power greater than any of his modern predecessors, taken hold of Turkish society with an iron fist. Across the globe, he's known as a savvy, cunning, geo-bullets cooperator.

Sometimes, I'm not lying, sometimes a danger, but never a true friend. During his tenure, he's transformed Turkey from a mere strategic afterthought to an important regional player to a rising middle power on the world stage.

Now he's ushering in what he says will be the century of Turkey, promising nothing short of a rebirth for the land that once sat at the heart of the Ottoman Empire.
