Turkey rounds up 37,500 educators and bans all educators from traveling abroad

Oh I can imagine it. Let's elect Trump and have our own adventure. I mean we want to turn over the apple cart? Even though it has a lot of tasty apples? Well, Turkey sure did turn over the apple cart. Sounds like fun!

LOL ... nice imagery.
 
Wow, do you feel that this was his way of cementing power so he can stay President permanently?

OF course it is. THis guy wants to be a dictator and make Turkey more of a Muslim country instead of the secular country Turkey has been. THe guy is trying to change the constitution so he can remain in power. Now he is getting rid of all the opposition under the idea that they were part of the recent attempt by the military to take over the country. If Turkey goes down and moves toward Russia then people should be worried especially since Turkey has our nukes in their country.
 
I wonder if considering the course of the country under him they should have taken that shot. Does Turkey need a dictator? Maybe, to keep order with its sharp turn towards islamism.

This guy wants Turkey to turn more towards Islamism. Turkey was founded on secular rule. The turn of events should be concern for the stability of the region and beyond. If this guy turns his back on the US, he has our nukes.
 
He is already blaming the US intelligence Agencies without giving names for supporting Gülen. At least that is what I understand from his subtexts.

Turkish PM and Trump is not a good combo...

I agree. I want to know if Turkish citizens feel this way. What is their perception because they are the only ones capable of stopping him at this point.
 
So? At what point is to far? At what point is proof needed?

I am saying that so what if they belong to this religious group? Has that group been outlawed in Turkey? Have they been proven guilty of any crimes?

All I see, from the info I've read, is that Erdogan is going after anything he doesn't like. Regardless of whether they had a hand in the coup or not.

That is a valid understanding of the man Erdoğan himself. He just calls anything that stands in his way "terrorist" and jails them. But this coup thing is on the Gülenist cores within Turkish Military, you might need to check out for concrete proofs for this, there are a lot of articles and videos about it, and I can comfortably say that our minds are confused very much after this. This showed that we as not being supporters of Erdoğan have no representative in this country.

Gülen and Erdoğan acted together through the Counter Revolution. After a while they grabbed each others' throats and it escalated fast with mutual shots fired. Coup was Gülen's last and heaviest shot.

This is what the official records claim and more than half of the country believe. So if you go out to them and say that it might be a theater, they will oppose you intensely and you will much likely get hurt. But I understand them. My brain is under heavy burden of choosing whether if this was really Gülen or it was Erdoğan's setup to gain unquestionable power over the country, or maybe these two guys are working together actually and we are watching a scenario.

Anything is possible, except we the simple folk knowing the actual truth behind what is shown to us on the media.

But what took place was insanity.

Psychologically, it really defects a citizen of Turkish Republic.
 
More like, the LDS church thinks it's an unsafe situation.
I would agree with this decision. Normally as I have said to fish I would say that I think the whole idea behind mission is to make the people better human beings, so when there is bad situation, they should get involved more but they will just get violated in here if they came across a fanatic.
