What's up with pro-Erdogan supporters?

Only a minority of people bother with actually going to protests etc. For each one that goes, you might have 100 who agree, but don't bother going.

Its better to just look at how many German Turks voted for him.

No idea what's going on in their heads only thing I know is they are going to be a problem.
They are almost literaly Erdogans sleeper army. The militery coup also has a lot of paralells with the NSDAP history, back then the Reichstag was burning and they used that to restrict peoples rights and get rid of their political adversaries. Seems very familiar, doesn't it?

A 'kristallnacht' on Businesses related to Gulanists is just waiting to happen in Germany at this rate.

In a way, Erdogan represents a strong Turkey in a western-civilization dominated world. He appeals strongly to nationalists who don't want to see Turkey fade away. Misguided, imo, but understandable given the country's current position in the world.

Sounds like Russia and Turkey have a lot in common indeed.

They are nutbags, should just move back to Turkey if they like it so much, and stop harassing the Turks who integrated properly.



Fuck them.

We are talking about Turks living in west Europa, they don't really need to worry about security that much.

You are right, but They still have families and close ties to Turkey.

A lot of them don't even have families in Turkey.
Its pure nationalism.
