In other news, ever since the fall of Tell Abyad Erdogan has started making noises that a kurdish controlled area on the turkish southern border with Syria would absolutely not be tolerated. As opposed to the ISIS controlled one through which the vast majority of their recruits from Europe had been going through until now, along with other war materiel.
And of course the entire sunni world is crying crocodile tears about kurdish "ethnic cleansing" of the territories they have liberated, completely oblivious to the total fucking irony. Kurdish have a vested interest in keeping sectarian bullshit to a minimum, and it has been evident in the way they have been defending from the start turkmen and yazidis and assyrians and every other minority daesh were hellbent on genociding.
Anyways this pipeline to their allies is vital for the snackbar fuckers, and they've been making pushes to capture it back. Kurds were making ridiculous territory gains but that seems to have been checked.

It's even more hilarious when you realize how apparent it is that Kurdish command's only priority is to encircle Turkey. It's literally breaking the supply lines. I wonder why they aren't trying to sabotage the border from within as well.

Because doing so would break the so-called "solution process" that has been going on for a while. It's a process started by Tardogan's AKP for resolving the Kurdish conflict. So far, it has only proven to be a means of pacifying Kurds.

Steps taken include allowing Kurdish tv broadcast channels to air and so on. The publicly unknown details of this agreement process (many suspect a promised autonomous Kurdish state) seem to have hit a wall of congestion. Yet the ties haven't snapped altogether. And this process is currently holding PKK (their terrorist brigade) at bay. They can't risk being the side to put an end to it for the time being.

By the way, this solution process is pretty much what has led the nationalist party to act like a group of retards and inadvertently prevent formation of a new opposition government (yeah, that is still unresolved).

Don't worry you'll probably have a government before the last one resigns while in interim, thus becoming interim of itself. That's a reference about Belgian politics in the late 00s.

[Daunt_Flockula]

Resigning even when you are a part of an interim government requires honor. And just for your information Kafein, I have lived to learn that honor is not a word found in the Turkish book of politics.

Guess that is the overall situation as you pointed out, but you will still see every now and then politicians/ministers resigning even due to doubtful allegations in other parts of the world. For the last decade, our politicians have been stubbornly resisting so many atrocious yet proven accusations that they made me believe the ones we have deserve a special place along the general scale of rottenness.

If HDP supports LGBT community even more if there's a new election then they'll go home with a ton of more votes for sure.

Politics tend to do that, but sometimes a statesman falls through the cracks.

%49 Tardogan's party ''AKP'' again.  fuck this shit....

[Daunt_Flockula]

Tons of vote rigging attempts have been uncovered and yet remain unpunished. Tons more than possibly weren't even spotted. If I had the energy, I would create an entire new thread and write it all for those who may wonder. Also, the counting process, which has always gone on way past midnight, was finished in just 2 hours this time.

I remember somebody telling me that Tardogan was democratically elected and we simply have to deal with it. Well, my answer is a huge fuck you. Whoever you were (I don't remember), just shut your mouth. The Republic of Turkey has been forcefully occupied for the last 12 years and today it was forcefully brought to an official end. There is not anything left to say anymore.

[LordBerenger]

If HDP got less than they got before you know for a fact they rigged it. Same with MHP i guess. Only CHP might lose voters but i doubt it. This and the martial law put in by the police/armed forces makes it seem like it's rigged as fuck and a way for Sultan Erdogan to change the system and turn him into a proper Sultan/President.
