Recep Tayyip Erdogan didn’t just win his constitutional referendum — he permanently closed a chapter of his country’s modern history... Whether they understood it or not, when Turks voted “Yes”, they were registering their opposition to the Teşkilât-ı Esasîye Kanunu and the version of modernity that Ataturk imagined and represented. Though the opposition is still disputing the final vote tallies, the Turkish public seems to have given Erdogan and the AKP license to reorganize the Turkish state and in the process raze the values on which it was built.

Better kick Turkey out of NATO now, before they drag us into a World War.
As the progressives are demonstrating in this country. Illegals and felons voting plus the social justice scam put us a short step away from Turkey but without Islam.
Does this mean we can kick them out of NATO?
Biblical prophesy continues to line up. I believe the return of our Lord Jesus Christ is sooner than we realize.
One thing they’ve forgotten is the Armenian genocide.
A nation of muzzies.
And Christians.
Another Clinton legacy. It was only a matter of how long.
Only American muzzies are loyal./s
BWAhaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaa
I’m not sure ‘forgotten’ is the right word and it was their government who did that but your point is well taken.
I went high school in Turkey in the 70’s. The cities were quite westernized at that time and continued to be for years then things started getting weird and American dependents were no long allowed. That might have been the beginning of Erdogan’s time but I’m not sure.
The countryside was still quite backward though. It was like going back in time quite literally.
All I needed to know about Turkey, I learned from “Midnight Express.”
We were discussing Muzzies in Europe. It goes without saying they aren’t loyal here in the USA. I see your point.
“I was wondering what all that gibberish meant.”
It’s Greek to me also! (I mean Turkish!!!) /s;)
The Fourth Crusade is still paying dividends.
However, they do seem to have forgotten Targoviste where Vlad the Impaler left "the forest of the impaled" where an Ottoman writer says twenty thousand impaled corpses greeted the Sultans army.
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the Turks ran into another guy just like Vlad if they decide to move into the Balkans.
“Turkey turns from the West”
It can’t be surprising that they turned from the west. The west is terminally sick. It’s dying of its own hand and its own dementia.
That must have been interesting. Iran was pretty modernized also, until the Islamists took over. Whenever the Islamist take over the country Goss back to the seventh century. Erdogen believes he is the next Caliph and has been taking Turkey from secular to Islamic. He has plans to take over Europe exactly the way it’s happening.
Erdogan wants to recreate the Caliphate. His plans are much bigger than Turkey
it was clay feet all along’
‘built on the corpses of Christians
