Your missing the point altogether. Perhaps because of being locked into the Fethiye bubble. Thinking that what goes on here in this untypical Turkish town is the same for the rest of Turkey, and that in some way the people living here, are exempt from what goes on in all of the rest of Turkey. Do you really think the tail wags this particular dog? I don't think so. Mind you plenty round here did vote for the AKP.
In the November General Election, which had one of the largest turnouts for any election in Turkey. Turkish voters, both here in Turkey and abroad, gave Reg and the AKP an overwhelming endorsement, with more people voting for the AKP than ALL the other parties combined. I'd like to see the results of Reg's governance only hit the AKP voters, but it just does not work that way .... and like I said above it was not just AKP supporters who cheered when the plane was shot down.
