The numbers prove the AKP cheated in Turkey’s elections
AEI ^ | November 4, 2015 | Michael Rubin

On Sunday, November 1, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Justice and Development Party (AKP) claimed that it had won a majority of seats in parliament. Voting registration and voter turnout numbers prove beyond any doubt that Erdogan cheated.

...

AKP supporters were registered at multiple sites and so, in effect, voted two or more times. Turkey's High Election Council (Yuksek Secim Kurulu, YSK) handles all complaints. Once they issue a decision, by law it cannot be litigated. They are no longer independent, however, but under the thumb of Erdogan.

Numbers do not lie. Erdogan stole this election, plain and simple.

The Turkish people will not get rid of Erdogan through the ballot box. He will only be removed by force and he will kill or imprison any he perceives as a threat, so Turkey will either live under his thumb or be racked by revolution.

Erdogan wants to create an Islamic caliphate where women have no rights. His education program is expanding Islamic schooling.

Turkey has been through it before. If the decent Turks don’t move out, which is what many are planning to do, ErdoÄŸan probably will be removed.

Türk’nün arkadaşı, ErdoÄŸan’ın arkadaşı deÄŸil.

Haha! FR’s new fancy font engine.

I’ll spell in without Ataturk’s modified Latin.

Bir Turkunun arkadasi, da Erdogan’in arkadasi degil.

If you are willing to start a civil war, kill a subset of your populations to regain political power that was taken away from you at the ballot box and work to move Turkey from a sectarian to a more “radical” Islamic state, what is a little ballot box stuffing? As Hillary would say what difference does it make now!

Truly sad and truly this is going to create problems within NATO and the Middle East.

There’s a reason Erdogan is one of Barry’s closest friends.
