Put those things together and you have a very bad situation, a very divided people and the conditions for a large-scale confrontation between people who take opposing sides on these things.
But the Turkish people -along with their parties- voted.
So, internal Turkish affair. You can join your resisting vote to the Vatican though, Greece and France.
But it's an internal Turkish affair.
But was there a vote, though? I understood that Erdogan did this via a decree.
