Let me be among the first to say welcome.. I know the difference between Islam and Islamism (political Islam, sharia law advocates).

I lived in Ankara for about a year while working there on a business project. That was before the AK Party however.

I have great respect for Turks and have often posted images of Turks demonstrating against the Islamism of the AK Party.

I too lived in Ankara for two years but it was post-AKP. I suspect you wouldn’t recognize it now and I assure you there are no Turks demonstrating against Erdogan and his thugs now. The country is on a fast downward spiral and in less than five years will be unrecognizable to those of us who either lived there or visited frequently.
