go to Cyprus and do a small search to the occupied and to the free areas, there is more recent)
I m telling you again you don t have to go back 200 years ago to find something to compare with hybrid regime of Ancara.
Now if this not a democracy we are waiting from you the standards to become a democracy and to fill the UN Camps of Europe with political refuges.
Here we can read from Akolouthos the "freedoms" that gives hybrid regime of Ancara (that wants become member of E.U.)to the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.
Wow, immediate retaliation, I find these ones amusing...
It is also for me amusing lie down on my armchair and enjoy a nice debate it s not so amusement for the Turkish citizens that are political refugees in UN camps and live in very difficult conditions.
Today's democracies are not like the democracy of the ancient Greeks but democracy is still more alive in Greece today than in some countries where people get persecuted for merely speaking in ways that the state considers inappropriate.
