As another Turkish person, I find the resemblence between this election and the one we had a year ago rather uncanny.

- election between rightist strongman vs. boring guy whose most important selling point is not being the other guy. Also a somewhat controversial candidacy.

- Deep divide between coastal lines vs. the rest; educated and the rest.

- Polls not being confident on either candidate, but the strongman gets mire votes than expected.

Etc. etc. I find it rather strange. (I do enjoy the memes on the Turkish social media though)
