I'm living in Istanbul at the moment for a while. There's a substantial number of Turks who are rather western in outlook and very worried about the way things are going. Unfortunately since I'm from Zimbabwe I find it difficult to be hopeful about such situations.
The fact that such a man has been allowed to get into power there at all is odd and one wonders how such a state of affairs which shouldn't happen at all could ever flip the other way. A lot of people would suddenly have to become wiser and that didn't happen back home so I'm not sure how it will happen here.
