This happened before in Iran's revolution, School Deans, and even Hospital Directors were replaced by pro-revolution islamists regardless of education or qualifications. We might see Turkey transform itself into what Iran became. After this they need a War (a la Iraq-Iran war) to keep people distracted and then the changes will be permanent.
- hx87 10y agoThe problem with that plan is that Turkey has only one equal on its borders (Iran), and cooking up a cassus belli (supporting the Rojava Kurds & the Syrian government...?) there isn't going to be easy. Everyone else is either friendly (Azerbaijan), an overmatch (Russia & NATO), or a pushover but with overmatching alliances (Armenia & Syria). I suppose they'll have to settle for a Kurdish insurgency...
- nkrisc 10y agoThere's still Syria.
- busterarm 10y agoThey have some territorial disputes with Greece and an extant DMZ in Cyprus.
- heliumcraft 10y agoThere's Syria/ISIS next door, we'll see. Some military interventions and a lot of TV fear propaganda would do the job.
