Turkey needs a new cross-demographic secular Çapulcu Party headed by intellectuals to challenge theocratic PM Erdoğan’s AKP. #occupygezi

@aral I understand but why must the democracy be secular? If the current gov was chosen by fair election then its democratic, the ppl decide -
@Aouse ’cos theocracy & democracy are diametrically opposed. Esp Islam. Might be democratically elected but their ultimate goal is Sharia. -
@aral I don't see where they said their ultimate goal is this. If a govenment truly serves the interests of its ppl then its good, right?
