    Y’all realise that people in Turkey talk to their relatives daily, right? The family may originally hail from Elazığ, some of the family relocated to Istanbul for work, with younger generation in studying in universities in Eşkisehir, etc. regardless people talk to family daily.

    Turkey is a land of half-cooked urban legends & . One such legend: simply because Black Sea region hosted Greek/Byzantine cities *hundreds of years ago*, folks who live there might have secretly stayed Christians and loyal to the greater Greek cause! 9/n

    Of course, puzzle *for the uninitiated* in the ways of Turkish political discourse: why would anyone claim folks from Black Sea region to be crypto-Greeks/Christians who intend to act against Turkey’s national interests? Super-easy, barely an inconvenience... 8/n

    Given this background, it would be foolish for *not to* visit & rally in his hometown and the region. He’s making sure 1) he’s showing he’s not intimidated by AKP slurs; 2) to use same slurs to gain support from folks *from* region who will vote in Istanbul. 7/n

    Herein lies the irony: Not only AKP is very strong @ Black Sea region, folks there also tend to be very nationalist. AKP, just to discredit CHP candidate for Istanbul, directly offended them in *so many* ways. CHP candidate İmamoğlu is simply turning AKP’s attack on its head 6/n

    Why AKP trying to undermine CHP candidate for Istanbul by claiming that he’s a crypto-Greek/Christian agent is a big mistake? Doing so, AKP inadvertently offended an entire region by implying that they might be crypto-Greek/Christians too. There is an irony there, a big one. 5/n

    CHP candidate for Istanbul ’s visit to the Black Sea region is a massive strategic blow to AKP. Why? AKP just tried to undermine Imamoglu by implying he is in fact a crypto-Greek/Christian, simply because he is from Black Sea region. Big, big, mistake. How so? 4/n

    First, the “underlying” causes: - CHP candidate for Istanbul is from the region - It is and an extended holiday, a period when people tend to visit their hometowns - A good chunk of Istanbul voters are originally from the region Next: “immediate causes” & strategy... 3/n

    Why is CHP candidate for İstanbul, , is running a “rally tour” in Black Sea region including but not limited to the city of , even though the elections are for Istanbul? May seem like puzzle, but explaining is super-easy, barely an inconvenience... 2/n

    This interaction sums up the rationale for why I occasionally launch(ed) constructive criticism against the venerable Turkey experts. Two top experts with ears in high places sincerely fail to figure out a very obvious dynamic. Allow me to respectfully help them out... 1/n

    I was thinking that one way to stop Russia in Idlib is to put the S-400 in Afrin and shoot down Russian planes. Who says no?

    “n phone conversations with Putin over the past few weeks, Erdogan blamed Damascus for driving a wedge between Moscow and Ankara.”

    What is Russia's strategy in Idlib?

    One time challenger of Bahçeli for the leadership of the MHP, Sinan Oğan, is wondering if anyone in the AKP realises how the attempts to ‘otherise’ İmamoğlu and his supporters is backfiring.

    AK Parti’nin İstanbul seçimlerinde kullandığı ötekileştirici siyasal iletişim dili Ekrem İmamoğlu’na yarıyor. İmamoğlu’nun bugünkü Trabzon mitingi de bunun açık göstergesi. Ak Parti’de bunu görebilecek kimse yok mu?
