[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The end of Erdogan?  What happens next?[/quote]

This isn't too promising for him.

[quote]President Recep Erdogan is reportedly on vacation in the southern Turkish resort town of Bodrum. His status is currently unknown.[/quote][/quote]

Why is there a president and a prime minister? What are their functions?[/quote]

The politics of Turkey takes place in a framework of a secular parliamentary representative democratic republic, whereby the Prime Minister of Turkey is the head of government, and the President of Turkey is the head of state who holds a largely ceremonial role with substantial reserve powers.

It's like Germany.[/quote]

Except backwards, since Turkey's president appears to have most of the power (whether he was originally supposed to or not) and no one has ever heard of Joachim Gauck.

I don't know how to feel about this news. I loathe Erdogan, but this is not a good time for Turkey to be destabilized. [/quote]
