* Without being over optimistic, the last parliamentary elections in Turkey were a slap in the face for the generals and deep state, the hidden dictators of Turkey. After all, it was a referendum - democracy or tanks and the question for the Turks was that clear.
The next step is to see if the Turkish army that kept the state in the dark ages for a long time would get the message or would they try something like the old bureaucratic Soviet army a decade ago against the changes Mikhail Gorbachev was bringing. For the last few months the deep dark and nationalistic state of Turkey that the army represents under the fear of losing all kinds of allies, including European and Americans, didn’t use the tanks, despite their past in the late twentieth century."
