Think they have just kissed goodbye to EU membership for another century. Essentially another dictatorship in a but name!
 
There was an excellent piece by a Turkish woman political commentator Elif Shafak on recent events in Turkey this morning. It was on the BBC's radio 4 today programme [ those seeking Alternative Realities-U -LIKE are free to watch Breitbart News or the read the Daily Mail]
its 2:17 into the programme and lasts approx 4 minutes. In it she introduces the concept of Majoritarianism* and how it can often be confused with true democracy. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08m8yrl#play

* Majoritarianism is a traditional political philosophy or agenda that asserts that a majority (sometimes categorized by religion, language, social class, or some other identifying factor) of the population is entitled to a certain degree of primacy in society, and has the right to make decisions that affect the society.

Good piece and pretty spot on with the subject matter!
 
Since the gas pipeline's not going through Syria now, the EU no longer needs Turkey.
