Don't you boys worry, Erdogan is just warming up for the spectacular climax.

His Sultanate has delusions of a new world order and a UN (willing nations) based in Istanbul that runs in parallel to the existing UN.

I still can't find any detailed reports on this, but the total number of people who resigned is put at 105.

Now the ex-chairman of the AKP in Dersim is saying that they were all asked to resign by party headquarters, and that they did this for the good of the party, which they still support.
