The Turkish nations, thorughout the history, never needed to revolt, create a rebellion or decleration for their democratic demands. I bow before our great leader and founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk who set up Turkiye's regime as democratic republic. The rights we got as individuals are nearly impossible to give up.
In fact, the modern order is somehow bringing the obligation of democracy for a country's regime (Iraq can be a democratic country? Who can believe that?). I think the communities, from one another, has a different sense of order naturally. And it sometimes feels like a sticky - democracy on your forehead.
Do you ever come up with saying "Damn democracy thing ! Hang him !" ?
