Kasımpaşa] before being [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_local_elections,_1994 elected] as the Mayor of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istanbul Istanbul] from the Islamist [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_Party Welfare Party] in 1994.

The AKP won a landslide victory in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_general_election,_2002 2002 general election], with the party's co-founder [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdullah_G%C3%BCl Abdullah Gül] becoming Prime Minister until [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_G%C3%BCl his government] annulled Erdoğan's ban from political office.

As part of his [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_vision 2023 vision] for the centenary of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Turkey Turkish Republic], Erdoğan's government oversaw [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accession_of_Turkey_to_the_European_Union accession negotiations for Turkey's membership] of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union European Union], an economic recovery following a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_Turkish_economic_crisis financial crash in 2001], two successful constitutional referendums [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_constitutional_referendum,_2007 in 2007] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_constitutional_referendum,_2010 2010], a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_process Solution process] with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistan_Workers%27_Party Kurdish militants], an allegedly [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Ottomanism Neo-Ottoman] foreign policy and investments in infrastructure that included new [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highways_in_Turkey roads], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airports_in_Turkey airports] and a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail_in_Turkey high-speed train network]. With the help of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fethullah_G%C3%BClen Fethullah Gülen]'s [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BClen_movement Cemaat Movement], Erdoğan was able to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil%E2%80%93military_relations_during_the_Recep_Tayyip_Erdo%C4%9Fan_government curb the political power] of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_Armed_Forces military] through the controversial ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sledgehammer_(coup_plan) Sledgehammer]'' and ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergenekon_trials Ergenekon]'' court cases. In late 2012, his government began [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_process peace negotiations] with the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistan_Workers_Party Kurdistan Workers Party] (PKK) to end the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdish%E2%80%93Turkish_conflict_(1978%E2%80%93present) ongoing PKK insurgency] that began in 1978. The ceasefire broke down in 2015, leading to a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdish%E2%80%93Turkish_conflict_(2015%E2%80%93present) renewed escalation in conflict]. In 2016, a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Turkish_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat_attempt coup d'état was unsuccessfully attempted] against Erdoğan and Turkish state institutions. This was followed by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Turkish_purges purges].

Nationwide protests against the perceived authoritarianism of Erdoğan's government began in May 2013, with the internationally criticised police crackdown resulting in 22 deaths and the stalling of EU membership negotiations. Following a split with long-time ally Fethullah Gülen, Erdoğan brought about large-scale judicial reforms that were criticised for threatening judicial independence, but which Erdoğan insisted were necessary to purge sympathisers of the preacher Fethullah Gulen. A US$100 billion [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_corruption_scandal_in_Turkey government corruption scandal] in 2013 led to the arrests of Erdoğan's close allies, with Erdoğan himself incriminated after a recording was released on social media. Erdoğan's government has since come under fire for alleged [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Turkey human rights violations] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Turkey crackdown on press and social media], having blocked access to Twitter, Facebook and YouTube on numerous occasions. Erdoğan's government lifted the bans upon court orders. Opposition journalists and politicians have criticised authoritarian tendencies.  Analysts suggest that Turkey is a majoritarian democracy. Erdoğan's proponents suggest that since the attempted coup, press restrictions are changing, Erdoğan's government dropped charges against the secular Dogan Group, including Hurriyet paper after it was alleged that the $4.5 billion tax fraud charge was initially perpetrated by Gulenist officers. In the aftermath of the coup attempt, Erdoğan issued a Presidential pardon against those who 'insulted' him. Erdoğan aims to bring the executive Presidency to a referendum in 2017, with a bill likely to pass parliament due to agreement between Erdoğan's conservative AKP and the nationalist MHP.
