Tayyip Erdogan is a little person, literally. Uneducated, coming from poor family. Earned a fortune through illegal means under the cover of politics. Though he is not a Muslim, he acts as pious one. His followers are no different.
People living in Turkish Republic are naive and poor, saw him as saviour which later turned into biggest evil in the recent history. Corruption is all time highest, separatist movements all time highest. Degeneration is all time highest. Foreign politics all time lowest.
