Politics - Coup in Turkey - View Post

If this picture is real, the coup will fail miserably as the people Turkish public seem to like Erdogan.

People forget, many Turkish people were oppressed when Turkey went secular after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. The turks i knew when I used to live in Germany used to tell my family about how they were oppressed by a secular government if seen to be practicing their faith or showing their faith. They would harass and beat people for wearing a scarf or having a beard. Not sure how true it is, but if that had any truth, Erdogan might have more supporters than the west has led us to believe.
