BBC News - HARDtalk, Etyen Mahcupyan

Shaun Ley talks to Etyen Mahcupyan, former senior adviser to Turkey's Prime Minister.

Last week, President Erdogan's Party lost its parliamentary majority. HARDtalk asks Etyen Mahcupyan, former senior adviser to Turkey's Prime Minister - how does he see the result?

Recep Tayyip Erdogan has dominated Turkish politics, first as prime minister now as president, for more than a decade. Last week, his Justice and Development Party, known as AK, lost its parliamentary majority. With it went Mr Erdogan's dream of a more powerful presidency. Etyen Mahcupyan was until recently senior adviser to the Prime Minister. Does he see the result as a verdict on the President's authoritarian streak, his intolerance of dissent, anger over corruption or a stuttering economy? Etyen Mahcupyan says AK will win many more elections to come - but will President Erdogan?
