>Have you ever been in Turkey? I guess no. You wouldnt say that if you visited Turkey.

I haven't but that is not an argument. Even if it is somehow bad it is not as bad as it was before. Before Turkey was one of the most corrupt countries in the word. Now it is not. Erdogan modernized Turkey and made it richer and better and even his critics recognize that.

>Erdogan caused the value of Lira drop beyond usual expectations

Yes pretty bad but that doesn't take away his greater anchievements. Tell me more.

>He wanted to ban Republic Day, which was the day the Turks got their independence. Why? Because he's an idiot who believes Ataturk was a western spy who wanted to sell Istanbul to the British Empire.

Good move, sad he didn't succeed.

>He wanted to waste money, time and resources on building a huge over 50.000 square kilometres large unneeded mosque.

Good for soul and the nation. It would inspire Turks and give them a new hope. Should have done that.

>He used tear gas on peaceful protesters in Taksim Square, which caused 22 deaths, some of whom had families.

Greenpeace activity is getting out of hand indeed.

Jk I think that wasn't so good move as the rest.

>He sentenced Servan Nishanyan, an Armenian blogger to a jail sentence simply because he said unorthodox things about the Turkish government.

Things like? It is one thing if he says he disagrees with it and it's completely another thing if it calls for it be be overthrown.

>He wanted to ban people from showing attention in public because in Islam it's unwise to even hold hands in front of people. He wanted to ban lovers from holding hands in public areas, do you realise how ridiculous that is?

Friendship is magic and magic is heresy. Probably this wouldn't be acceptable in the West but in the East it is culturally normal so why not? Each culture should be able to follow its own rules as long as it doesn't harm anyone. Do you disagree?
