Turkey is no longer a democracy

While we’ve been fawning over presidential candidates, Erdogan decided to become a despot.

He has ordered the closure of;

1,043 private schools,

1,229 charities and foundations,

19 trade unions,

15 universities

35 medical institutions

45 newspapers

16 television stations

23 radio stations

3 news agencies

15 magazines.

Turkey is no longer a democracy.

What that means for Europe and the US has yet to be seen.

If you’re thinking, Turkey, who cares, you might want to look at a map.
