What is Erdogan's mission now ?

According to Björn Sundell, despite the AKP's clear majority, Mr. Erdogan must reach out to other parties in the future. He adds that this won't be easy. "The AKP has Islamic roots and is pro-European. The National Movement Party (MHP), on the other hand, shuns the EU while the nationalist Republican People's Party (CHP) wants to keep religion out of politics at any cost. And the Kurds are tough partners for anyone. Once the euphoria of the election victory has died down, Erdogan would do well to be a little less self-assertive, particularly as far as the next presidential candidate is concerned. Last spring his choice of a religious candidate added fuel to the conflict between religious and secularist Turks. If Erdogan doesn't act with a little more diplomacy and tact this time, he risks plunging Turkey from one political crisis into another."
