No surprise, Turkey is falling back into fundamentalist regime more rapidly then even I have feared. Currently their military and its constitutional role in protecting secularism against religion is being castrated by a huge AKP-led campaign. The judges will be the next (and last) hurdle to be brought to a fall by the fundamentalists. With these last two opponents being overwhelmed and brought under fundamentalist control, there is no escape anymore.
Forget Turkey.
I saw this coming since many years, and said so since many years. My last stay in Tuzrkey was in the mid-90s. Even back then the writing already was on the wall, especially in the rural areas - where the AKP became strong and that it now totally dominates.

Turkey, having aligned with Iran recently, more or less openly supports the Hamas (an Iranian proxy) and raises fundings for it.
The Palestinian government is totally pissed by the Turks. (!!!)

It seems also that Turkey lets weapon deliveries for Al Quaeda pass, I read yesterday and today.
In America they worry about Assange and compare him to Bin Laden? They better should speak out against neo-ottoman emperor Erdoghan I. and the AKP.
