Which is still not the same thing as a vote. The electorate doesn't get to case votes on the outcome of legal cases. And before you go all nutty about the courts reflecting the will of the people, bear in mind that judges in Turkey are appointed, not elected. The decision on Hagia Sophia was popular, but that's STILL not the same as people voting for it.
You're either obdurate or ignorant. Maybe both.

Turkey has a democratically elected parliament.It passed the law of turning Hagia Sophia into a mosque; Erdogan only signed the decree after the court judged.
You obviously don't know what courts are; or intentionally acting a fool.
