Those wankers won´t be in power forever.

Check the results from the last parliamentary election. The Islamist AK party of Erdoğan and Davutoğlu is having more than 40% support now. Also, another Islamist party, the MHP got around 15% of the vote. Their support seems to be increasing. There are no second string leaders in the AKP. Erdoğan and Davutoğlu dictate the affairs within AKP.

That´s just amazing. Clearly Erdogan´s nationalistic megalomania has support. The Muslim Brotherhood in charge. I doubt that anything good will come of it for Turkey.

Not only that, but his support levels have been increasing over the years. The secular CHP now struggles to cross the 25% mark, and is mostly confined to the major cities along the west coast, such as Constantinople and Smyrna. The pro-Kurdish party gets around 10% to 12% of the vote, but it is only a matter of time before they get banned again.

I remember years ago during the Soviet era, asking a Russian what those crescents underneath the crosses at the Kremlin were about. And he said, oh that´s just to remind Russians of an old promise to recapture the seat of the eastern church.
