Erdogan said: Unstable and incoherent coalition governments of the past, he repeatedly argued, doomed Turkey into financial disaster, political turmoil and social disorder.
But his detractors and discontents disagree. The new system will not heal Turkey’s woes and misgivings, as the post-coup emergency rule showed; too much centralization of power at one center only aggravated hardships, not resolved them.

My BIL, now a proud American citizen, jates Erdogan with a passion! So do his friends.
My guess is this will look a lot like the Mubarak government in Egypt, with some extra Islamic fundamentalism, mostly for show. Expanding corruption will be the trend with Erdogan family and associates lining their pockets. The eventual downfall of the Erdogan regime will hopefully come from the secularists. I figure 8-10 years and a really bad economy will be required.
NATO needs to vote Turkey out.
He’s going to make a deal with germany. We’ll have a merger of the Fourth Reich and muslims. Immigrants flood into Europe, nazis start another war. Beware Israel, neither germany nor turkey are finished with you.
Wonder how long before he declares himself to be Sultan.....
