I don't live in the US and consider CNN perhaps the worst of the MSM, so you have me wrong. I've seen a lot of Turkey so probably have more experience than you think - the majority of the population seem to be behind Erdogan so there's no way I'm visiting Turkey until things change.

> the majority of the population seem to be behind Erdogan

Whatever you feel about his policies, this one fact goes against the assertion that he's a dictator.

That, and the slightly inconvenient fact that he keeps winning elections and/or referendums.

Or that the odd hastily-enacted coup gets confronted by the MAJORITY of Turkish civil society.

Or does your definition of democracy = "do what we (Westerners) want, irrespective of the wishes of the MAJORITY of your populace"?

> so there's no way I'm visiting Turkey until things change.

Your loss. I don't anyone there really cares ...

Please tell me whatever carbon-emitting white country you live on to make you think you have the moral superiority over my people?
