you`re simply trying to prove your flawed point using rhetoric but it doesn`t work. if you say that greece is so democratic because you watched a mob going on there last night on tv, you`re just being funny. how many people join the may day demonstrations in greece? there are tens of greek orthodox churches just in istanbul, but there is not even one single turkish mosque in this "so democratic" country although there are thousands of Turks living there because it`s forbidden. is this what you call democracy?
I`m not saying Turkey is more democratic or not. I`m just saying that things are not so black and white like how your simple mind works.
I guess it is becoming a custom for add ´so´ infront of the words which considered to be embarresing for some of my country´s undoubtedly ´sophisticated´ people. 
Are you sure about those ´none existent mosques´ or ´turkish mosques´ which are forbidded? 
But however, you have a point there..
The point is, only some of my "genious" country men can go on a mission to defend the Turks all around the world and at the same time look down at all its ethnic minorites in Turkey. You are a great example of that. 
I remember reading some articles about compulsory classes given by the state for the students who are about to go to foreign countries for education..
They were trying to ´educate´ (not going to say brain washing here ) these clueless young minds about the Turkish thesis ranging from Armenian issue to Cyprus.
My guess is, you were sitting at the front bench, listening carefully as if your life depended on what the teacher was saying and lifting your hand with passion to ask questions to learn more and more..
Anyway, back to the topic: I think you should read a bit more about Greece and make parallel comparisons with Turkey especially starting from the time line of 1970´s to see what ´did NOT happen´ in Turkey and why.
