Erdogan to Become More Autocratic as The Economy Deteriorates

TURKEY
  • Eurasia Group President Bremmer says Erdogan likely to get more autocratic as the economy deteriorates
  • Says Erdogan is likely to continue to engineer political battles to deflect from domestic economic problems
  • However, this is likely to duel problems abroad with the EU & US cracking down on human rights abuses
  • Interestingly he notes this may push Erdogan closer to Russia, but remains dependent on volatile geopolitical relations on issues such as the uneasy truce between the Assad regime and Turkish-backed rebels in Syria
