"Democratic Deficit at Heart of Turkish Democracy.
We who live in Democratic and open societies tend to take the electoral process for granted, people who within living memory have been at the sharp end of political violence and authoritarian government treat their Democratic Rights and responsibilities in a less cavalier fashion. For they understand only to well the true value of a democratic system, despite being perfectly aware of its shortcomings.
The Turkish people fall into this category; thus they take their democratic responsibilities very seriously, as they demonstrated on Sunday 23rd July, when approx 42 million of them voted in the Turkish General Election."
