Sadly JT, I think you are right.

It is a powerfully made point but we shouldn't take it too literally. Erdogan has sent generals, journalists, and others through court and into prison to serve their sentences: Hitler sent people direct to concentration camps from which a great many never emerged.
Colwyn, there was an element of tongue in cheekism there...

Well now, they have just made it legal for women in Parliament and the Civil Service to cover their hair with religious style. No issue -- but of course -- it is the Hijab! It isn't about them wanting to, it is about them now being able to be forced to wear it by Husband / Family which they couldn't before --- another nail in secular coffin! I believe there have been a raft of changes to voting rights etc. no doubt to be followed by boundary changes to ensure AKP support where they want it --- its vote rigging in advance.

Will the Turkish people really get a true Democratic vote -- the AKP still have time to change enough things to prevent that. If they really can kick Erdogan and the AKP out there is only one choice. A single law that repeals just about everything they passed immediately and a firm return to secularism.

It isn't that they are heading for recession -- they are being driven towards it -- the loss of confidence will follow the Islamist changes! Turkey was attractive for foreign investment --- with it looking more like Teheran every day that will dry up -- who will suffer the most? the Turkish people!
