Just a few months after an earthquake struck Turkey, leaving tens of thousands dead and critical infrastructure in tatters, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced plans to hold national elections in May, presumably because among the chaos of the moment he can more easily “win,” by hook or by crook.
