Former comrade of Erdoğan laments political decline

Ahmet Davutoglu, former Turkish Prime Minister and ex-close associate of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has expressed concerns over the political decline in Turkey and announced his withdrawal from active politics. He revealed the dissolution of his opposition party, the 'Future Party' (Gelecek Partisi), which he founded after leaving Erdogan's ruling AKP in 2019. In a statement shared on social media, Davutoglu criticized the current political climate, calling it 'contaminated,' and stated he would step back from party politics to avoid being part of it. He highlighted issues such as the lack of freedom of thought and limited employment opportunities despite increased university graduates. Davutoglu also called for an independent judiciary, democratization, and a return to a parliamentary system, suggesting that corruption affects all political factions.
