From humble beginnings Recep Tayyip Erdogan has grown into a political giant, reshaping Turkey more than any leader since Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the revered father of the modern republic.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan was born on February 26, 1954, in Rize, Turkey He is the president of Turkey Since 2014 and served as prime minister for 11 years (2003–14). He is praised for revolutionizing the Turkish economy through monumental changes key sectors such as textile, transport, manufacturing and energy.
In 1965, Erdogan graduated from Kasinpas Piyale primary school, later he joined Imam Hatip School, a religious vocational studies school, and graduated in 1973.
He started his politics in the Student Association where he led the branch. He later joined the welfare party which was banned. In 2001, he established the moderate conservative AKP, Justice, and Development Party, which is a political party in Turkey, self-describing as Conservative-democrat.
The deadly coup attempt in July 2016 marked a monumental turning point in Erdogan’s political history. Turkey witnessed the bloodiest coup attempt in its political history on July 15, 2016, when a section of the Turkish military launched a coordinated operation in several major cities to topple the government and unseat President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Soldiers and tanks took to the streets and a number of explosions rang out in Ankara and Istanbul. Turkish fighter jets dropped bombs on their own parliament, while the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Hulusi Akar, was kidnapped by his own security detail. For several hours, it looked like Turkey was going to face the fourth devastating military coup in its 95-year political history. But at this point, something unprecedented happened. On Erdogan’s call, Turkish people turned against the rebel faction of military and made the coup attempt died a quick death.
The charm offensive has had some success. Mr Erdogan enjoys popular support in corners of Africa and Asia. Some 75% of Palestinians and roughly the same share of Jordanians approves of his policies, according to a poll published last year. His popularity in Pakistan is such that the country’s prime minister, Imran Khan, joked earlier this year that Mr Erdogan could safely win in his country’s coming elections. Anecdotal evidence, says Mr Akgonul, suggests he may also be the most popular Muslim politician among young Arabs in Europe. Turkey’s leader and his acolytes seem to be convinced that the old-world order is crumbling, and are looking for a role in the new one. His embrace of the global periphery is riven with contradictions and hypocrisy, making it more hype than substance. But it is here to stay.
