Next step, internet limitation (?)

It is not a next step Turkish authorities are blocking the internet already, they just don't block it all the time, instead periodic blockade is used.
They used to block social media sites like Facebook and Twitter usually during times of public riots, demonstrations, pickets and protests.
Recently they blocked all editions of the Wikipedia, and last year they blocked popular Cloud Storage services.

Wait on the street will be arrested and put in prison for criticizing Erdogan. When there was a coup had to think and support him. Now there will be more victims. What regardless of whether you are struggling with Erdogan or not.

See.... there was a coup against Erdogan, but he survived it because the people supported him. This has given him confidence in exterminating the opposition. And look at the opposition. There is no leader who is popular among all the sections of the society.

All of them are in prison.

Well played mr. Putin lol

Today's news: Two major turkish channels, NTV and Star TV, are both fined over Victoria’s Secret show and facing a crackdown from Turkey’s television watchdog.

"the broadcasts of such a fashion show was actually proving damaging to the physical, psychological and moral development of children in Turkey", said the turkish Radio and Television Supreme Council.

In short, one by one, anything "west" related is banned. Simply as that!

I think that Erdogan can of course try to change the political system in Turkey, but do not forget that in this country of frequent revolutions. Let's hope that Erdogan will pay the price for his dictatorial tendencies.

No, and never. Erdogan can't be overthrown when he enjoys close to 60% approval. I am surprised that you posted this, after what we had in 2016 (the failed coup attempt by the Gulen supporters). That incident proved that he can't be overthrown.

It seems to me that it was not a coup, and performance. Erdogan himself has orchestrated this coup to be able to increase its influence and to deal with the opposition. Such a coup is impossible so quickly and without fighting to suppress.

It seems to me that in Turkey coup. Then when wanted to shift Erdogan, I do think that it was a performance which itself is of Erdogan played. Now he will establish in Turkey a dictatorship.

Heard something about them blocking Wikipedia and arresting 4000 people...

For Bitcointalk members? Armageddon.

For people in Turkey? Wednesday.

Seriously, you can come here and ask simple question about any country. But dont expect simple and short answer. Turkey has mixed political system arift between Europe and Asia, religon and secularism, traditionalism and modernity. You wont find any simple answers in such places. Just more questions.

You really are right. I have not paid attention to this before, but life in Turkey is really difficult because of divergent views about everything.

Maybe Erdogan wants to build his own Islamic Caliphate. Democracy rarely works in Muslim countries. They prefer sharia and other medieval forms of government.

You need to remember that Turkey is not a very homogeneous society. In the Western part and the coast, the people are quite secular and opposed to Islamism. Also, in the South-east the Kurds oppose Islamism of Erdogan and his AK party. If Erdogan converts Turkey in to an Islamic Caliphate, then the West and the South-east will break away.

I read somewhere that this was a mistake for Ataturk. He moved the capital away from Constantinople to Ankara, which is in a much more religious region.

I thought Turkey already was an Islamic Caliphate...

Quote

According to religiosity polls, 99.8% of the population identifies as Muslim, and only 2% is non-religious.

Turkey is 99.8% Muslim, and their mosques are government funded... there is no separation of church and state in Turkey

Erdogan essentially elected himself dictator for life (12 more years, but he'll extend that again)

There was massive voting fraud... everything from changing laws on stuffing ballot boxes with unlawful votes, to displacing people so they have no physical mailing address and can't vote

This guy is a authoritarian dictator... he locks people in prison for making jokes about him... there is no freedom of speech in Turkey

The only worse world leader I can think of is Duterte

I live in the Philippines and Duterte is yet to go around imprisoning dissidents. All those killings though are being blamed at him. He may not have a hand in them, but his attitude towards them definitely encourages both vigilantes and police. A few days ago people are found in a police station, imprisoned in a cell hidden behind a bookcase.

I think it's a fkd up situation right now.

The April 16th referendum has expanded Tayyip Erdogan’s authoritarian powers, so right now the latest news report full censorship in every media: "this Saturday nearly 4,000 public officials sacked, a ban placed on all dating shows in the country, as well as blocked access to Wikipedia". Those officials fired included people in the justice ministry, the army, the air force, and academics.

But this is normal, i guess, since we are talking about a full dictatorship...

I don't think people should really be surprised at this moment, would anyone really think this wouldn't happen as we've seen what dictatorships do and what they can do, at this moment I would say the people of critical are pretty lucky seeing what other dictators have done at certain moments.

Kind of sad to not see any of the world superpowers coming out and questioning the legitimacy of the referendum which some people swear had to be rigged as no one with their right mind would come out and vote for something like this, unless they were coerced or the ballots were stuffed.

I do wish anyone that is from Turkey and on here some luck, you're going to need it.

I think that the reason is not that Muslims prefer. The reason is that the level of education in many Islamic countries is very weak. To lead the uneducated mob can only use the rigid dictatorship.

It is not possible to blame Erdogan for whatever happening there. A few months back, some people were trying to overthrow him in a military coup. He somehow survived that attempt. Who knows what could have happened, if the coup was successful?

Is Wikipedia still blocked?

If yes, would it be a permanent thing?
