ffi Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 You can thank the EUSSR nitwits, who see democracy by itself as an end, not as a means for good government. I could see this AKP plan happening in Turkey miles away: apply for EUSSR membership, in accordance with EUSSR guidelines dimish the power of the army (which protects secularism and the equal right for every person in Turkey) and by democratic means mohammedanize Turkey step by step, the army now powerless to step in again...
