Perhaps, but it is a constitutional role that the Turkish army plays, in order to protect secularized gov’t. Ending that and wanting the Moslem do-rag forced down the throat of Europe is the reason this borderline Islamofascist gov’t wants Turkey in the EU so badly.
I used to be a big supporter of Turkey, as a U.S. ally and for the E.U., until the Islamist government and their double-cross on giving the 4th I.D. transit rights to Iraq.
