Gen Z only knows him at the helm of Turkey, yet President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan does not make politics for the young voters. That could be his undoing in the upcoming election. His challenger Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu understands the power of the young generation.
Enes Kara is in no hurry to say his last words. His voice is calm. “I don’t want this video to be hidden, so I’m sharing what I’m feeling with you,” he says to the camera. A 20-year-old boy, good-looking, he seems a bit sleepy. His situation, says Kara, is that of many young people in Turkey. “I know that religion forbids it, but I don’t want to continue my life. What I ask of my family: Treat my sisters more tolerantly than me and don’t force them to attend an Islamic school.”
