Please point out the lies with sources instead so everyone can learn the truth

The top-level comment had no sources either.

I have no idea what to believe of it, if anything. Kemalists supporting AKP?! That one is hard to believe, unless they've accepted that they're out of power and want to curry some -- that's a possibility, I guess.

What is clear is that Turkey is sliding towards dictatorship with an islamist feel. Nothing good may come of it.

The Kemalists are all gone from the military, so expect nothing from that department.

We live in interesting times.

If you want a source, download Camfrog and go talk to any Turkish person (of which there are TONS) and find out for yourself.

This whole citation needed garbage needs to stop. Go find the information from the obvious source, or don't, your choice. The burden of proof is a BS burden and is an excuse for people to not exercise their brains and SUPPOSED education.

Just like I wouldn't trust the average American to be able to meaningfully distinguish truth from misinformation (do I even trust myself to?), I wouldn't trust "any Turkish person" to do so.

You're making a strong, blanket claim, which you say is easily verifiable. Back it up.

I gave you the means of verification. It's not my problem if you are not using it. (BTW many of the Turkish people on Camfrog are directly in the military.)
