For the first time İ cried for my Turkey (for real tears). He is not giving up, it is not in his character - he will destroy and go down just like all other Arab despots. He needs to be stopped, but he has votes and he wins elections. We are ruined, economy ruined - no future in sight with Erdogan sticking in. I don't see things very positively until we are rid of him.

But how do you see it happening? Any outcome is bad. Like Mini-Syria, and there is no chance for military coup either. Only defenseless people against tyranny, who will help them. The West did not lift a finger for Arab protesters, why should they do it for Turks. We were so close to achieve a dream of modern Turkey and we are RUINED!!!!. Erdogan you are a monster for destroying our dreams!!!!!
