I do not care who calls themselves a democracy, that form of government fails just like socialism and communism every time it is tried. Turkey is a wonderful example of democracy on parade. FAIL

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Turkey used to be a great secular parliamentary democracy. Since Erdogan took over he's steered the nation away from that, with constitutional changes giving him personally more and more power. Parlaimentary? Not anymore, there's no prime minister because he absorbed that power himself. Democracy? Well, this doesn't seem like the sort of thing democracies do but sure seems to fit what you'd expect a dictator to:

Turkey will conduct 'operations' against Erdogan's enemies in U.S.
