[HIGHLIGHTS] Turkey: Recep Tayyip Erdogan in a strong position before the second round of the presidential election

Recep Tayyip Erdogan won the first round of the Turkish presidential election on 14th May. With 49.51% of the vote, against 44.88% for his opponent Kemal Kilicdaroglu.

The second round will be held on May 28. The opposition is still trying to believe in its chances of offering Turkey an alternation. The majority won in Parliament will represent an important asset for the outgoing president's camp, says Samim Akgonul, from the University of Strasbourg.
