Think of the bravery of Turkish dissidents, journalists, politicians & citizens opposing a coup that's trying to remove a govt they despise.
They stand for democracy, even though they know it means the restoration of a President who will gut their constitution.

I can't even imagine being in their shoes.

@BilgeEbiri Is this secular Turkey vs. non secular Turkey or what is going on? -
@KEcurious Secular Turkey died a long time ago. It was a dream we had, briefly. -
@BilgeEbiri@KEcurious It's a dream I still have. I'm Turkish. I'm broken after Erdogan's support. -
@Seal_Evil_
@BilgeEbiri well..isn't this interesting. I always turn to "natives" of a country for insights. -
@KEcurious@BilgeEbiri I'm not native. I'm an American, but I have Turkish heritage. -
@Seal_Evil_
@BilgeEbiri I want to hear from people who have grown up there..."real natives" (no substitute for that knowledge) -
@KEcurious@BilgeEbiri You'll see a large support for Islamism then. - Show more

@BilgeEbiri@joanmariapique really ? How do you know that ? Protesters yesterday were pro-Erdogan not pro-democracy. -
@BilgeEbiri@kcarruthers - elections are not democracy. Democracy is the whole fabric of rule of law, ind judiciary & civil service etc too -
@BilgeEbiri@jen_keesmaat isn't that kinda masochistic? ;-) -
@BilgeEbiri @Jim_Colella kumbaya narrative needs a little workhttps://twitter.com/agirecudi/status/754279493280423936 …

@BilgeEbiri so why did they fight the coup?? -
@BilgeEbiri@DaliaEzzat_ And end their democracy. Talk about a rock and a hard place. :/ -
@BilgeEbiri Erdogan is a snake, but there must be a better way to undermine him. -

@BilgeEbiri@HeavenOnTwitch you can't gut a ''constitution'' imposes by military junta. You are either for democracy or a traitor. Die soon! -
@ehaltay Is that what you understand from that? How do you know that I am against democracy? Thanks for the wish! -
@HeavenOnTwitch I was responding to the person you retweeted. It auto included you, I didn't know Twitter does that -
@ehaltay oh well... good thing you learnt one thing today -
