If he doesn't like people's opinions he should try and be a better person and politician. Like a spoiled child running off to mommy because the other children said something he didn't like.

Right now, Turkey is not a democracy. It is more like a military dictatorship. Erdoğan has only one aim, and that is to stay in power for as long as possible, so that his family can get rich from all that oil money from the ISIS, and bribes from businessmen. Unfortunately, the voters in Turkey are not intelligent enough to see through his real intentions.

Where you can spawn those lies?
Who reads your words will think that turkish army captiured ministration in Turkey.
Do you live in Turkey?
If you don't live, do not spread your mud all around..
If you live in Turkey, that means you look around under your pyjamas.
Turkey and ISIS has, only 2 relations. One is Turkish army bombed them. And, two, God damn they made suicide bombing in Ankara.
Just bla bla without any evidence.

...and some idiots in Brussels are thinking about letting Turkey into the EU. They shouldn't even consider that until such "cult of personality" exist over there.

I don't understand this. Every European Union member should abide by the laws and regulations set by the EU. For example, Greece is forced to accept all these immigrants, as the EU rules demand that the borders should be open to anyone who claims that he is a refugee. Poland is forced to provide translation services for the speakers of Kashubian language (a minor language which is spoken by a few thousand people), as the EU laws demand that minority languages must be recognized in all the member nations.

Now how is this going to work out in Turkey? Until recently, the use of languages other than Turkish for private conversations were illegal in Turkey, and doing so was a criminal offense. So, is the EU going to exclude Turkey from all these laws and regulations?

No of course not.

That's why Turkey isn't part of the EU and is not going to integrate it until they change those things.
Turkey has always been refused application because they have too much differences with EU regulation.

The EU used to be quite relaxed on violating some of it's own basic values if it's about a new landgrab :/. Ukraine is a good example for that, and I guess Turkey is big and juicy enough to condone even a small scale genocide, if necessary.

it is not suitable to child to do this, parents should take care to their children, Actually everyone has his own respect.

He just shared what he thought was a funny pic. He didn't created that image. If Erdogan is that much offended, then he should arrest the person who created the image (a foreign national, residing outside Turkey), rather than arresting his citizens who share them. Else, he could ban FaceBook in Turkey, just like he banned Twitter.

He wasn't arrested. Just he testified. Because to insult to president is not allowed due to turkish laws. If even 13 years old boy does it, at the least he will be under custody. Turkey has very different culture beyond your perception. Turkish people live a modern life with islamic and traditional culture. For one turk, his state, his flag, his honour, and his religion are worthy to die for sake. In Turkey you can't insult president front of people, you may beaten. You can't insult the flag. You may be killed. Turkish people are born fighter. They love death for sake of their homeland more than you love life. In other side, turkish people are maybe the most hospitable people on the world. You never feel yourself alone in Turkey. If you need help, you may not need to find somebody to help you. Somebody will find you.

Erdogan seems to be getting mighty nervous about his image and his hold on the people. Unless there is further evidence that we are not seeing, he is acting just like the Saudi and Bahrain kings who thing they truly are descended from Royalty and can't tolerate the slightest form of protest or even an innocent mistake if it occurred.

Every nation including Turkey claims to be modern, but you still can be attacked in your home and dragged to prison for stating your opinion. There's nothing modern about it.
As a politician you should be ready to face criticism and even insults.

perfectly agreed... i think all politicians must be tolerant to any opposite ideas to them which is essential for democracy and freedom of speech..

that's too bad.. why ahmet necdet stepped down?? he is good to a leader.

He knew he was fighting a losing battle. He was involved in far too many controversies. For example, once he threw out Erdoğan's wife from the presidential palace for wearing an Islamic headscarf. His views were too radical and extreme. The AKP supporters (especially those in Anatolia) held protest rallies against him almost every day. He got more and more isolated, after Erdoğan replaced the secualar generals in the Turkish armed forces with those known for pro-Islamist sympathies.

WTH!! Erdogan is soo treated like a monarch or something. if insulted him you will go to jail this is ridiculous!! Grin

At least going to jail is far better than getting your head chopped off. Go to Saudi Arabia, and dare to criticize the ruling monarch. You will be beheaded in a few days time, in full public view. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Qatar, Bahrain... the list is quite long. If you have a penchant for criticizing the heads of state, then avoid these nations.

hahaha! this is so ridiculous! a person who is in power is treated like a god.. good thing i'm in a democratic country

Often Turkey is cited as the most successful example of Muslim Democracy. Before, Erdoğan, they were actually a Democratic nation. Erdoğan transformed Turkey from a secular Democratic nation to an Islamic dictatorship. Ahmet Necdet Sezer tried in vain to stop the Islamization of Turkey, by vetoing several of the laws passed by the Islamists. But he stepped down in 2007.

I'm not surprised with such news.
Turkey has serious democratic shortcomings and in many respects is closer to a dictatorship than a modern democracy.
Erdogan made a major shift towards Islamism and he also limited human rights in his country.
Turkey is necessary and important because of the crisis in Syria and Iraq and therefore America and other countries don't want to interfere in Turkey's internal crisis.
Because of this, nothing will change and we will read more such news.
It's called political reality.

Ridiculous?

We did it for thousands of years.
I don't think you should just laugh at it saying it's ridiculous.
It's a bit like someone who smoke for 40 years and managed to stop, laughing at someone who can't stop saying he's "ridiculous"...

i know that we were serving and hail them as god for thousands of years... but we were in mordern world... we could say anything we want.. although we are all equal
