For example, he leaves this question unanswered: Why Erdoğan? And anyway: why are so many German-Turks so conservative, according to the 2018 election analysis, much more than in the USA or Great Britain, for example? Why are they traditionally so well-disposed towards the Turkish President and his party, the AKP, in the past elections? Recep Tayyip Erdoğan recently performed better in Germany than in Turkey.
