> Turkey has become more overtly religious under Erdogan, shedding some of the secularist traditions of the original Kemalist republic.
> Turkey’s military has traditionally viewed itself as the guarantor of secularism, which has resulted in a series of coups. It led three takeovers between 1960 and 1980 and toppled a conservative government in 1997. However in 2016, an attempt to overthrow Erdogan and his religious-conservative administration was foiled and thousands of people were purged from the armed forces, the judiciary, and other public institutions.
Is Turkey the next religious war?

Bro is sliding the country back into a religious state. Restore Kemalism and laïcité!
Atatürk is spinning in his grave…
Inevitable that religious governments descent into purges, pogroms, and persecution. The religious just can’t resist the authoritarian impulse, because they think god is on their side. This is why religion is such a dangerous delusion.
Wtf, the video doesn’t seem like a threat to coup his government or what?
understandable. how rude of those little rascals to have an own opinion.
The EU dodged a bullet holding off on allowing turkey in. What happened to secular pride in turkey! Shame.
I can guarantee that Erdoğan is going to revamp the constitution to be purely Islamist.
But whatever. 52% of Turks voted for it last year. Many of whom are from outside of Turkey.
There are people in the US watching this with interest…. Just like they’ve been taken notes from Orban in Hungary.
Hopefully we (U.S) move more assets to Greece due to Turkey’s unreliable policies and sliding into dictatorial religious authoritarianism
is he planning a coup?
Sounds like it’s time to roast some Turkeys
That country needs a redo of the last try, but successful instead
Islam being Islam I see
Are we…sure it’s ok to have these guys in NATO?
Once again, religion is nothing but poison.
I remember when a bunch of angry Turks downvoted me for pointing out that Erdogan aligns himself with religious Islamist nutjobs and thats why the Westerners don’t like him.
Erdogan really is starting to be vanishingly similar to other Islamic dictators. What happened to the modern secular Turkish state Ataturk created? The US had Trump, Russia has Putin, North Korea has Kim, Venezuela has Maduro, and Turkey has Erdogan. Changes can’t come soon enough.
Religion is weird.
Erdoğan himself choosen by the US to deteriorate Turkey. In 2001, US and IMF polices caused a financial crisis in Turkey. That led Turkey to an early election. Their favourite politician elected. Because his views are against Turkey’s interests and he supported the invasion of Iraq.
At December 2002, a month later he get elected, he visited the White House. Few months later, bloody invasion of Iraq started.
Erdoğan did many other things to hurt Turkey.
