Erdogan's success is quite significant. 14 political parties and hundreds of civic organizations, and Alevis, and Nurcus, and teh Gulen people got together and supported one candidate, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, who is highly educated with 5 languages and an Islamic background, and Erdogan was still able to win. Their candidate got only 38%. I think the author should show some respect to Erdogan. We are tired of such disrespectful academics and journalists who have been deliberately misleading the Western world about Erdogan. We love him, and we will keep supporting him as long as he remains as who he is!
