Having said that - what are the reasonable alternative, CHP is useless, so are many of the others. AKP has done some good for the country it is true, better transportation, natural gas to more and more communities but it is crystal clear that they have a more religious agenda that they want to bring forth. Very tough situation for Turkey indeed. Very difficult.

AKP: TURKEY IS FACING A SHAME
The closure case had great repercussions in Turkey and in the world. Speaking on behalf of the AKP, deputy chairman Dengir Mir Mehmet Firat said Turkey's democracy is face to face with a big shame. "This appeal is a third-class legal understanding. This is an injustice against stability," Firat said.

it is 'oha', because, in the end, it shows, after years and years of politics, democracy struggle, we are still having a laugable democracy.
That party has been closed 3 times before and they came back with greater popularity..
The party is the ruling party, it had 47% of the votes in the last general election..
What are they going to say to the half of the population?
A gigantic embarresment to turkish democracy..

We are going to protect our secular republic against Islamists no matter what price it takes. This is a very happy event in our history that I'm proud of.
