Turkey is running a 70% inflation rate, and the central bank raised the policy rate by 500 basis points to 50% on March 21.

The surprisingly successful opposition party is Republican People's Party, the secularist party founded by Kemal Atatürk and ousted by Erdogan's Justice and Development Party in 2014.

Unless I have completely misread Erdogan’s past, I believe lessons are about to be taught all across the country as people who have aggressively and successfully opposed him begin to experience the reality of mortality.

Although Erdogan supports Muslims it’s really like he’s appealing to the more conservative elements of his population. The ones who run against him are the globalists who want to bring the perversion of the west to Turkey. We visited Turkey a year ago...what a breath of fresh air. No trannies. No tattooed blue hair freaks. No ghetto culture. It was like America in the 60’s.

Hopefully obiden will be experiencing the same, only “The worst defeat ever”

Turkey is still the sick man of Europe. The problem is the rest of Europe is trying really hard to be sick in other ways.

Turkey is running at a 90% anti Israel, pro Palastinian rate. Erdogan whipped them up at the beginning of the Gaza campaign and did not follow through on his promises of retaliation. I wonder what Erdogan will do now?

Getting rid of the Islamonazi style dictatorship in Turkey will hopefully enable the good Turks to select a peaceful, non-aggressive government

It’s far too risky for Turkey yo continue under the thumb of such a dangerous islamicist as Erdogen. Otherwise we need to remove our air bases (and nuclear missiles) from there and expel him from nato

Erdogan delivered a sombre and introspective speech

Interesting, somber can be spelled this way.
