But Turkey is a real mess at this point.

Erdoğan's government seems to be moderating some of its positions and is dealing with internal extremists from all sides. What makes you think that a military government would improve the situation?

If you are butt hurt about the Russian aircraft that have been shot down -- the military pulled the trigger.

Erdoğan's government was elected democratically just like Putin's government is. Ironically, both Erdoğan and Putin use military suppression of secessionist political factions. Pot calling the kettle black
Surprising that you have once again no clue and are on the wrong side of the fence on yet another issue.

Civilized non-primitive Turks who can think, all think Turkey before Erdogan was the future. Erdogan has pulled Turkey back to the stone age in rapid tempo. He is turning Turkey back to an islamic country. While he is changing things the media there is forbidden to be critical, journalist who tell the truth are getting locked up left and right.

Yet you think going back to the stone age where women have to cover their heads again and where there is no freedom of speech, is a good thing.

If you think that's progress, why don't you move to saudi arabia where women who are raped get 100 lashes in public squares. By your standards that's paradise!
