I'm with BOx, except one small edit: A thugocracy albeit (rather flimsily) *disguised as* theocracy.

Whenever Turkey is in the news, it's always worse than we thought.
Reuters (from 5/20): A gang leader's video allegations of corruption among top officials has gripped millions of Turks, threatening to tarnish the image of a government already struggling with economic woes and the COVID-19 outbreak. As I commented elsewhere, I wouldn't be surprised if Erdogan tries to arrest everyone who has viewed the videos... :-/ Cheers, Scott. |

Re: You have a point. :)
They are only claiming a theocratic orientation. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov |
