Or do you support that people are allowed to oppose an elected government against what they feel is wrong even though they are the minority? if you do then you are a fucking hypocrite.
What the hell are you on about? Since when has being elected by a majority mean that you can ignore the rights of those who are not in the governing majority? The problem in Turkey is the absence of minority rights: be they women, Christians, leftists, Kurds, secularists, Armenians etc. While imprisoning anyone who disagrees with the ruling party like journalists, politicians and lawyers.
Erdogan thinks he just governs for the AKP and his religious conservatives and to hell with everyone else who disagrees with him. That's why Turks are on the streets, protesting. What Turkey needs is to respect minority rights. Not trample over minority groups, imprison them, assault them and treat them like dirt. That way lies fascism...
