I find myself to be a person who looks at everything with a pinch of salt, we know every side fights for a cause, hidden or obvious.
That said, all the allegations from the left towards the AKP so far has been debunked. Let's look at some.
1: "AKP is selling the country to foreigners, they have a hidden imperialistic agenda" --> debunked. If anything in their time anti-West and anti-USA rhetoric has risen much more than ever. We are no longer afraid of our own power and potential, the rest of the world knows this too, that's why our rhetoric can change so deeply without effecting our economic relationship. Right now they are talking about misak-i Milli, go figure.
2: "AKP is limiting freedoms. Like freedom of alcohol, free speech, wears etc." --> debunked. During their period, the AKP made it legal for scarved women to enter universities. At the same time the others were untouced. Alcohol is still served and legal, no change there.
3: "AKP has taken total control over the media" --> No! The state has taken control over their media, so that anti-state elements can't serve their foreign interests as they like. As others pointed out, any strong state in the world operates this way. Remember the times pre-2000, complete chaos and anti-government propaganda from left and right. No control, chaos and inconsistency ruled.
Get me right. I'm NOT a spokesperson for the AKP, they MUST be critisized for the things they are held accountable to. I'm a spokesperson for the INTEREST of my NATION.
And i must admit, i'm a tad fascist
