CNN —For Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s longest serving ruler, Sunday’s upcoming election may be the end of a two-decade winning streak. Following an attempted coup to unseat Erdogan, the Russian president called his Turkish counterpart and offered his country’s support. Still, it was not enough to change the eastern tilt of Turkish foreign policy. Whether Erdogan wins or loses, Ankara is unlikely to untangle itself from Moscow and turn back to the West. (The Turkish president has previously dismissed concerns about press freedom in his country).

ANTAKYA, Turkey—When a 1999 earthquake around Istanbul killed more than 17,000 people, the Turkish government’s stuttering and shambolic response opened the way for Recep Tayyip Erdogan , then the city’s young mayor, to rise to the prime minister’s office. Now, 23 years later, Mr. Erdogan, the country’s long-serving leader, is challenged by another massive and deadly seismic disaster—this one just months before national elections in which he is seeking to stay in office.

Ukrainian exports kept flowing through the Bosporus this week, after Turkey’s president helped preserve a deal to protect them. ISTANBUL—Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is deepening his country’s military support for Ukraine while keeping an open line of communication to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin—a relationship that helped keep Ukrainian grain exports flowing this week—as he tries to expand Turkey’s role as a regional power broker. In recent months, Turkey’s most prominent weapons maker, Baykar, has broken ground on a new factory in Kyiv that will double its capacity to produce armed drones. Last month, Turkey delivered a new corvette to the Ukrainian navy in a ceremony attended by Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov and first lady Olena Zelensky. The Milgem-class ship is now the largest in the Ukrainian fleet, which is expanding to challenge Russia’s dominance in the Black Sea and showing Turkey’s own growing influence.
