For the past two decades, Erdogan has had to face a few minor problems with Turkey's presidency. However, in recent times, Erdogan has been frustrated at once. Internally, the AKP's public support has plummeted.

And Biden's victory has raised fears of renewed uprisings in Syria and Libya, which are directly linked to Turkey's national security and Erdogan's political future. The situation is not under Erdogan's control. Lack of control can lead to political crisis. The Middle East, including Turkey, could be destabilized.
From 2002 to 2015, Erdogan had almost direct control of domestic politics. Due to which Turkey's position in international politics was strengthened. However, after the failed military coup in 2016, Erdogan's control over domestic politics became increasingly complex.
This situation is further exacerbated by the ailing economy first, and by the post-conflict rupture of the AKP. Former Prime Minister Ahmed Davutoglu and former Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babajan have formed new political parties after resigning from the AKP. He raised allegations of corruption, nepotism and economic failure. These serious allegations have put the AKP behind in the polls. In almost all of the current polls, the AKP's vote share has dropped from 48 to about 30 percent.
Opponents of Erdogan are hoping that the two new parties that split from the AKP will lose at least 8 to 10 percent of the AKP in the next election. This new vote count will definitely put the opposition coalition in power. Second, the weak economy. For 20 years, Erdogan's main political force was a stable economy. The combination of religion and capitalism gave birth to a new political economy, which has consistently consolidated Erdogan's political position.
But the continued declared and undeclared blockade of the Saudi-US zone since 2015, the effects of the civil war in Syria and Libya, and the withdrawal of European investment from the stock market have killed the Turkish economy. A review of US sanctions on the S-400, eye-popping in the Arab world, etc. shows that Erdogan is now very frustrated.
