Derek welcomes back another AP Champion, Djene Bajalan, associate professor of history at Missouri State University, to discuss tomorrow’s presidential election in Turkey. They discuss Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, a “free and fair” election, the political fallout of the 2023 earthquake, how Erdoğan’s strengthening of the presidency plays into things, the stakes for Syrian refugees, and more.
How could anyone but Mean Djene be your first choice? Great interview.
