Perhaps because the current Turkish regime is one of the chief supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and other Islamist factions across the Middle East? You know groups that are involved in terrorist activities.
Countries all around the world are engaged in supporting "terrorist organisations" ranging from democratic to non democratic ones. American the so called bastion of democracy has supported groups ranging from the Contras in Nicaragua to the Afghan Mujahideen (Taliban). It doesn't take away the fact that the US governments that made these decisions were democratically elected ones, working within a democratic framework, and as such the legitimate executive within that nation. Similarly Erdogan despite his autocratic tendencies is a democratically elected leader who enjoys vast support from his people, but at the same time has to operate within a democratic framework (he lost the referendum on changing Turkey to a presidential system and subsequently accepted defeat). To object to him being "democratically elected" hence is petty and something that one can only expect from dictators.
