In my defence - the inference was meant to mean that Mugla tend to "follow" as opposed to "leading" in relation to matters political. Being a region that is heavily dependent on tourism it generally only gets excited about matters that affect tourism.
So back on topic - I know they had protests in Fethiye in July - but I was there - and they were very civilised. A few days later I was in Izmir staying in a hotel that was 100 yds from the armoured cars and water cannons - but that isn't in Mugla.
It is a very serious situation and I wouldn't want to undermine or belittle it but I am pretty sure that on this occasion the destiny of Turkey will not be settled in Mugla.
