I am talking rubbish...really?
I'm not the one using tomato pickers as an example. AKP support is strongest in agricultural areas, you'll find it hard to find CHP supporters amongst that pious reactionary group. Besides which most of the tomato pickers I see are women, as the men stand over them supervising or driving the tractor!!
Scenario 1 - Is their ignorance or ill education over foreign affairs a reason for me having to be sympathetic towards their plight from a Russian embargo? Of course not, neither is it a reason/excuse for a chance that they may have 'misvoted' for the AKP, they knew what they were doing. You take the consequences of your vote, good or indifferent, and in the case of shooting down the Russian plan...bad. And like it as not they probably loudly cheered when the plane was shot down, and almost certainly gave a nod and a wink of support to the ISIS bombing against the Kurds during the general election, and were probably rapturous as Reg declared war against his own citizens in Kurdish areas - mind you enough of those pious silly buggers still voted for him!!
Scenario 2 - This is why I said to you need to look further than the Fethiye bubble-land, he has to take responsibility for what Turkey's politician are doing/saying in his name or protest loudly against it - and with a couple of notable and noble exceptions we have seen little protest across Turkey - certainly not from the MHP unless it is to try to firebomb out local Kurds!.... but in the case of the MHP voter he probably cheered louder than the AKP supporter I described above. Indeed so many of the MHP supporters liked what Reg was doing, they went and voted for him. You expect me to be sympathetic towards him when the likely response of an MHP government would be worst than REg and his cronies.
Scunner old son, you've got to take off those rose tinted glasses. Things are coming to a nasty head in Turkey, and all Turks need to take their share of the blame, particularly those - on all sides - who think they are doing it in their god's name!!
