Dear Friends and Colleagues, 2021 – Goodbye and good……. Well, everybody we have spoken to is pretty glad that 2021 is over!

Turkey votes 52:48 and President (now almost for life) Erdogan claims that 4% margin as the ‘will of the people’ and a ‘mandate’ for fundamental constitutional change. Remind you of anything?
