The paper has also shown that there are some dictatorship tendencies within opposition parties. This conceptual paper, therefore explored the so called Erdoğan dictatorship illusion of opposition parties in Turkey by examining the concept of dictatorship in leadership, Erdoğan's assumed dictatorial accusations, and an effort toward disengagement of Erdoğan from dictatorship claims. It is also interesting to question the yardstick used for justification of the same whether it is simply over stay in power, the character and appearance of a leader or the modus operandi of a leader. One wonders whether a leader's being a dictator is determined by opposition politicians in a country, the local media, the international media, foreign politicians or the local masses (those benefitting directly or indirectly and not). The interesting conundrum though defeating all analyses of such nature is the authority on which the claim of dictatorship owes its abode or rests. Like in many, a country, talk of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan being a dictator in Turkey has been massive over the years. Indeed, almost all leaders are alleged to be dictators at a certain point in time, once they side step expectations abound. The notion of dictatorship has been central in leadership exegeses the world over.
