The majority of the population appear to support Erdogan. I'm not giving Turkey a penny until they return to proper democracy.
Do "the majority of the population" have to run their preferences by you first before they get to exercise their choice?
Is there some approved whitelist of candidates, compiled in Western capitals, that needs to be circulated amongst Turks, so that they can exercise their "democratic rights", as long as its only from that sheet of paper?
An amazing definition of "democracy" you have running in your head.
(I know I replied to you elsewhere, but this gem deserved its own response)
Silly Turks, voting for their own choice of leader, without first taking your opinion on board and going along with that.
Someone needs to educate them about what true "Western sponsored" democracy means, I guess.
Oh wait, thats what that attempted coup was for, right? Oops ...
