[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Such a dilemma. Erdogan was democratically elected. But his conservative religiousness (not just privately, but in his leadership) leaves a sour taste for many. A coup by the more secular military sounds good... but is it good for the idea of a democracy? They're deposing a democratically elected president. [/quote] Not just democratically-elected, but elected by a very large margin. In the last election, the AKP got nearly 50% of the vote versus 25% for the second place party. Erdogan himself got 51% vs. 38% for the runner up. [/quote] Was this election internationally monitored? Because Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko were also both "elected" president and we all know how much validity that has.[/quote] Let's just say that it was on par with the average US election in the state of Florida.
