Turkey position = 110
Iraq position = 118
Quite close, now a lesson and remember. Democracy is not linked to GDP / industrialization of a state. Turkey is far from a democracy, it has been under a military dictatorship for decades with many coups removing democratically elected governments. Recently we have witnessed the shift from a military dictatorship to civilian dictatorship under Erdogan.
The 'opposition' (HDP) gets crushed through the judiciary force, nothing democratic about that.
Iraq is highly corrupt, but not a dictatorship as in the past which I find unfortunate, as it would do better if it was a dictatorship. We have witnessed many different prime ministers with different policies.
As last , the white European doesn't see you as one of them. The gay from the west coast may shake his butt and drink Raki but it's not representing the majority of your country. Now keep crying. Go crawl to Greece the democrats and tell them how democratic you are if that makes you so happy.
