"Democracy in modern usage, is a system of government in which the citizens exercise power directly or elect representatives from among themselves to form a governing body, such as a parliament" This is from wikipedia.
We can not say there is no democracy in Turkey because Erdogan is leading in the elections.
The majority in Turkey wants Erdogan.
Technically this is democracy.
But Erdogan's behaves may not be modest,his genre is tough.But this is not mean that Erdogan doesnt act in democratic way.
If public cant elect his leader,then we say there is no democracy.
By the way I dont like Erdogan attidues against Turkey's civillians and also his economic management.
- woodandsteel 10y agoYes, but liberal democracy respects the various human rights, including to free speech and freedom of the press. It also doesn't have a state religion. Turkey is an illiberal democracy, and rapidly becoming less so.
- nonamehb 10y agoIn Turkey people respects human rights,by the way you can look this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Medina https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Medina this is explain everything I guess.Befero Magna Carta there was Constitution of Medina. We know human rights.All of you should stay away from Turkey. You were talking about free speech and freedom of the press.You can watch turkish press from TV. All of them can speak what they want. All of them can judge their Leader by free style. But of course we are not perfect like anybody in the world. I know what are you mentioning but these Journalists spoke wrong and ugly. You can judge anyone but everybody has limits.This is also human rights.
