Turkey's Secularism

Post by Stasi »

I've been following this one. It'll be interesting to see what happens in coming months. Hopefully, Turkish secularism will be maintained without the need for a military coup.

You know your country has a problem when your army dierctly warns the government. Or at least that's a problem in my eyes.
