Hi, I'm just putting this in its own new thread, to focus on the State of Emergency just declared by Turkey for the next 3 months.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...498b44-4de5-11e6-bf27-405106836f96_story.html
So things are now past the failed coup which shows no sign of coming back. Things are now in the aftermath under a new State of Emergency under which the Erdogan govt is assuming very sweeping powers to use as it sees fit.
How far will this crackdown go? Where will it stop? When will Turkey's next elections be? Will Erdogan's goal of an executive presidency be presented to the people as a fait d'accompli?
