TAMAM: Es reicht!
#T A M A M , "enough is enough" in Turkish, now reaches over 1 million tweets and still the top worldwide trending topic on the Twitter hours after Turkish President Erdogan's remarks. "Devam" on the other, another hashtag created by pro-Erdogan supporters and means "go on" in Turkish, only reached less than 300K tweets in the same period.
Addressing his party's parliamentary group on Tuesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said "if the nation says 'enough' then we would step aside." Within the hour, a new hashtag riffing off the president's words took the country's social media by storm: "tamam," a Turkish word meaning "enough."
#T A M A M became the worldwide trending topic with over 800,000 tweets posted under the hashtag to tell Erdoğan "enough is enough."
For some time, one of the discussions of Turkey's election season is whether Erdoğan, who has been ruling Turkey as prime minister and then president since 2003, would leave the government if he loses in the elections, which he has pulled forward from November of 2019 to June 24 this year.
