Amna Nawaz:
The nation of Turkey sits at a crossroads of the world. And its president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is its preeminent leader. Reelected to office earlier this year, Erdogan has now been in power for 22 years.
Both a NATO and U.S. ally, Turkey’s connections to the West are important and vital. But Erdogan will go his own way when it suits him, as he told me yesterday.
We sat down for an exclusive interview at the Turkish house across the street from the United Nations, where he will speak this week.
President Erdogan, thank you so much for taking the time to sit down with us. I appreciate it.
