Representation and and execution are not the same thing. If they only represented some group that does not kill unsuspecting innocent people and not acted like puppets of terrorists(PKK) then they would not be arrested for terrorism charges.

Everyone in Turkey knows that who/what that party is associated to and supports. They run under PKK executives' commands and that is nowhere near ok and cannot be justifiable by saying they are elected. They knew what they were doing was illegal and kept doing it and now these are the consequences.

Look how good of an example you are. Your input is not biased and not above a layer of hatred of Turkey's peoples religion. I find this very constructive and just and above all very true.

I am not supporting it drifting away from secularism. My issue is that whenever someone gets a chance to splash some mud on the country's leader, people are never wasting time and it is always raised with a comment about Erdogans being muslim. Those people getting arrested had nothing to do with religion.

Turkey will only be what its people want it to be. Not some people who are not its citizens think it needs to be.

Yes i support my government. I am not going to be ashamed of it and proudly continue to do so. May be you should start supporting it too instead backing a situation where it is about fighting against a terrorist organization.

As a Turkish, there are so much hate going into most of the people's comments going on here.

I am a Turkish citizen and i live there so without the actual experience, most of the things said here is not true and heavily biased.

The people that got arrested last night were actively tied to terrorist organization called PKK and execute under their command. How would you feel there was a senator in your country representing such terrorist organization and continue to do so because he was untouchable because he was elected? How would you feel you left you house or dorm scared that you would be blown into pieces on your way to school or some errand etc?

Those people are widely connected and their supporters are trying to organize violent acts via social media.

Another thing is Turkey is %90+ muslim so It is very odd that people call Erdogan islamist. So what? It is a muslim country. People actually voted for him(including myself and most of the people i know). It is peoples beliefs. You dont say things about Obama or Bush 'Oh he is a Christian Leader' every time you have a conversation that has a negative context.
