Turkey decides on future with or without Erdogan

Turks are voting in the most pivotal elections in their modern history, to decide if Recep Tayyip Erdogan remains president after 20 years in power. His main rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, promises to scrap many of the powers acquired by President Erdogan after he survived a failed coup in 2016. Two issues have troubled Turkey's 64 million voters more than anything: soaring inflation and two earthquakes. But many voters are also looking for a change after two decades.
