How Gaza Changed the Turkish Elections

Recep Erdoğan’s right-wing AKP party faced major defeats in the recent Turkish elections.

Anil Çinar, a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Turkish Communist Party, joins the show to explain the different factors that contributed to AKP’s lackluster election night.
