Turkey’s Erdogan sworn in for new term as president
Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan has taken the oath of office for a new presidential term on June 3, after winning re-election last weekend, extending his rule into a third decade.
“I, as president, swear upon my honour and integrity before the great Turkish nation and history to safeguard the existence and independence of the state,“ Erdoğan said during a ceremony at the parliament in Ankara, which was broadcast live.
Erdoğan received his mandate from the interim parliament speaker before taking the oath.
Turkey’s longest-serving leader, Erdoğan won 52.2 per cent support in a May 28 runoff vote. His election victory defied most opinion polls and came despite a cost-of-living crisis that was seen to have hurt his prospects.
His new five-year mandate allows Erdoğan to pursue the increasingly authoritarian policies that have polarized the NATO member country, but strengthened its position as a regional military power.
