Turkey: Closer to Dictatorship or Democracy?

[Zibago]

Good , we are on the same page now after a few posts.

Are you ready to compare the conditions in Turkey and USA?

Both are anti media strongmen true or false?
Both have low tolerance for criticism true or false?

Both are anti media strongmen true or false?
Both have low tolerance for criticism true or false?

That is not how it works. Here is criteria:

• Freedom
• Justice
• Representation
• Equity

Here is a simple example:

-Academia,Press, Citizens, Scholars, Women, Children and others in Turkey are as free as in USA?

Dictatorship is by one individual.
Democracy is Dictatorship by a bunch of ppl.

Dictatorship is by one individual.
Democracy is Dictatorship by a bunch of ppl.

What do you call it in this case?

What do you call it in this case?

I don't believe in modern democracy anyway.

I think Erdogan is a great leader for Turkey.

Lying is the forte of secularists and kemalist. I am a Muslim not a intellectually colonized secularist. SO NO you may NOT call me a liar.

The wanna be Arab calls us ''culturally invaded'', here is something that will ruin your appetite.

According to the president’s office, Erdogan said in his message:

“The honored veteran Mustafa Kemal is one of the shared values of this country and our nation. Unfortunately, for many years certain circles have claimed him and made him a tool for their own marginal ideologies and the vicious cycles of their daily political arguments. However, owning the memory of Ataturk requires owning our independence, our homeland, our flag, our republic, and our country’s millennial heritage of civilization with the spirit of the War of Independence."

Turkey marks 78th anniversary of Ataturk's demise


AKP GHQ after coup attempt:

I prefer a turkey where any emerging issues, trends, solutions, ideas and laws are screened though the framework of Islamic Sharia and then enforced.

You can scream as much as you want, Atatürk is one of the greatests Man of 20th century and his legacy will continue to live.
You want your sharia? Fine do it in your backyard or whatever but Turkey is and will stay secular period!

A Pro-AKP and Erdoğan magazine published a caricature, in which talk is:

- The one on left: how did you become a devil?
- the one on right: When ordered,all angels responded ''YES''.
- The one on left: what about you?
- The one on right: NO!

This caricature is published for the referendum for new amendmands in Turkey.

In this caricature, Clearly, they symbolize themselves with angels, and the others as in the caricature with devils.

Also, another abuse of Islam, and a shirk?

FYI, Pro-AKP members will vote Yes, but the opposite will vote NO.

Simple North Koreans didnt elect Kim bit Turks did elect Erdogan if some of his actions appear to be of a totalitarian regime than people will have a choice again same with Trump

On a lighter note - there are free and fair elections in North Korea - last was in 2014. Kim Jong's party won 100%.

Ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) Sinop provincial executive committee member Musa Yıldırım threatens ''NO'' voters with gun.

2 high school students threaten ''NO'' voters with guns in a picture posted in one of their social media account.

What is the point? Both "Yes" supporter side and "No" supporter side has maniacs in their sides.

Your argument has no difference than "PKK says No, Terrorists also say No" argument. Both arguments are trying to attack voter sides, not to refute a thesis of the changes of the constitution with scientific facts.

Wouldnt it be better if Turkey concentrates on science , education and economy?

All 3 aspects are in bad shape there. And thats a bad thing.

In the end run i dont see this ending well. All european nations must take the necessary steps and watch closely because there is a huge security risk growing.
