Polling is going on for a presidential election in Turkey. After coming to power more than a decade ago, this year's election is believed to be the toughest test for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Elections for the presidential election began on Sunday from 8am on local time and it is about to end at 5pm. Over 60 million legitimate voters are voting for this year's election. But last month more than 30 million immigrant voters voted.

The presidential election was to be held in November 2019. But Erdogan brought it forward. Six candidates are contesting for the presidential election. If a candidate receives 50 percent of the votes, he will be declared winner. But if not, the next 8th of July re-election will be held.

Turkey's position in a place whose leader is its leader has global importance. Because on one side of Europe, on the other side the Iraq and Syria border Among these, Turkey is one of the leading countries in the Muslim world, a member of the Neto Alliance, an important ally of the western world.

Turkey is also a candidate for the European Union. Turkey's army is the second largest force of the NATO alliance

Turkey's role in many areas is very important in the Syrian civil war, the Kurdish problem, the fight against the Islamic State group in Iraq-Syria, the immigrant crisis.

Erdogan will become more powerful if he wins this election. And if not, then the direction of the state of Turkey can be changed.

Erdogan is still very popular. So when the results of the election will start coming, skeptics can prove to be wrong.
