My thoughts exactly. I am most irritated that I did not see German media covering this. turkey was already a difficult partner before the fundamentalist AKP took over in 2002. Since then, the fundamentalists around Erdogan have caused a 180° turnaround of the Kemalist state doctrine of keeping state and islam separate, and have silently and massively mobbed secularists out of state offices, and brought orthodox Islamists into position. It seems the miliuzary failed it's constitutional duty to protect the state aginst islamic takeover - by having accepted too many of the West idiotic, stupid, incompetent demands for being more nice to Islam.

thankfully, chances have become smaller in the past months that Turkey ever makes it into the EU (even the Ahtissaris of this world will not stay in office forever). However, the idea of Turkey making it into the EU is a bigger nightmare now then it was ever before.
