I think many people, including plenty of Turks, are apprehensive of increasing authoritarianism that has been promoted by President Erdogan. I am as well and if I were a Turk, I would probably support the Republican People's Party over the APK for that reason, even though I am an American...

I actually agree with that. I don't know about China, but in so many other countries, American support for theoretical democracy, has been disastrous. Most of the worlds great democracies, with only a few exceptions, took many years to develop, including in America. When I was born in...
