Maybe Turkey can finally handle democratic elections after all.

It’ll be interesting to see the AKP’s response to losing the majority.

For once Turkey has discovered this little thing called “common sense.”

The next five months will be important: the Iranians are moving two DIVISIONS into western Syria and plan on destroying Jordan and Israel. (I also believe they will try to destroy Saudi Arabia.) We’ll see whether Mr.Erdogan (Turkey) stays calm or goes into tyrannous overdive to join Ayatollah Khameini. Erdogan wants to unite ALL muslims.

The video is very good and less than ten minutes long.

Did Obama try to meddle in this election? I understand he and Erdo are BFFs.

Had Erdogan won, there probably would have been a large movement to remove him.

How nice. Turkey didn’t want a more powerful president. I guess the voters of Turkey saw what happens when an arrogant president get elected. They look at us and saw what happened here.

This is the best thing that could have happened on so many levels.

Certainly put a smile on my face. Mr. Caliphate Erdogan got his...er...hat handed to him.

Turkey is a secular Republic -- these protests aimed at the AK Party and Islamism are from several years ago.

Millions of Turks have long made it plain that they are not ready to give in to Islamism, Sharia law, and burkas.. thank goodness. See images.

This is from several years ago also. ". . . 32 percent to 38 percent of Turks (upward of 25 million people) would never support the [Islamist] AKP or want to live in a country shaped solely by its values." In recent years Erdogan was living the Obama dream.. journalists, professors, active and retired military were being arrested. Erdogan will probably try to continue that.

The image on the banner is of Ataturk the founder of modern secular democratic constitutional Republic of Turkey. The photos are from demonstrations of a few years ago protesting the ruling AK Party's Islamist (political Islam & Sharia law) leanings and reminding the AKP that they promised the voters that they would respect Turkey's heritage of secularism.

The MHP got 81 seats. They are worse than the AKP. If the AKP and MHP form a coalition, that does not qualify as good news...

Erdogan sounds like Obola with smaller ears.

Great news! Am I right that Turkey has been essentially the only sane Muslim country in recent years?

Erdogan will not be removed without a coup nor will he accept any diminution of his power or slackening of its accretion.

“The election results represented a significant setback to Mr. Obama, an Islamist who has steadily increased his power as president,”
