Recep Tayyip Erdogan

Under Erdogan, the education system of Turkey has been overhauled to emphasise Islamism. His government has been funding Islamic Imam Hatip schools, which used to train Islamic imams and preachers during Ottoman empire, at a large scale.

Sumeyye Erdogan is married to Selçuk Bayraktar, whose company produces Bayraktar drones, which were used by Pakistan against India in the latest military confrontation.

Erdogan had said that it was a matter of pride that India was playing a role in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC)

One of the points of contention between the two was the arms embargo by Sweden on Turkey after Turkey invaded Syria in 2019. This was resolved in an agreement signed between the two in 2022.

During elections, Erdogan described his main rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu as “a pro-LGBT person” and claimed "Gays are not welcome".

Prosecutors can now detain people for an extra three days from four days previously for looting crimes as part of extended powers under the state of emergency, according to a decree published in the official gazette. 

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's first visit to the affected area came as the outrage intensified because of the tight election that will take place in three months.

The PM's office has announced in a press release that 2 NDRF teams with 50 personnel each with trained dog squads for rescue operations, relief materials and necessary equipment will be immediately despatched to Turkey. In addition, medical teams with trained doctors, paramedics and essential medicines will be sent too.

Turkey president said that he considers Pakistan's security, stability, and prosperity equal to that of Turkey.
