On Sunday, Turkish voters voted by 51% to 49% to abolish the office of the Prime Minister and to grant president Erdogan sweeping powers.
The referendum included 18 constitutional changes and will go into effect by Turkey's next general election in 2019. Opponents of Erdogan have called the results fraudulent and have vowed to challenge the outcome in court. It is not the first time the Turkish government has been accused of committing fraud in national and regional elections.

Now that Turkey has streamlined its government by instituting a modern totalitarian dictatorship, I have no doubt that it will soon reach heights never before dreamed of!
Truly, Turkey will at last live up to its name, that I will tell you (to borrow an expression from our President).

The Turkish military was severely "Purged" a few years back, as a result..., Erdogan now fully consolidates his power... I'd hate to be in the "Rear Guard" of U.S. forces in that "NATO" nation!

You and me both buddy. And the actual situation is much worse than any of us realize. Imagine living in Europe 1937 with a family of 5.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk hated Islam and regarded the Arab world it came from as filthy & backward.
He made Turkey a secular republic, the least evil form of governance in the Middle East. That’ll soon be gone with the wind.

If you want to see somebody get offended, ask a Turk if he’s Arab. Same thing with the Iranians (Persians). Been there, done that.
