as a turkish citizen, he is a fucking dictator. The day will come when he will be held accountable for all his crimes.

No, that’s nepotism. He wins elections and is popular.
If your criteria is failing to admit to genocides, then every Western “democracy” is a dictatorship, except perhaps Ireland.

Dictators do nepotism. Stop lying. Stop propagandizing.

Jailing opposition leader and biggest rival before the election, on made up charges, is not compatible with “elections” and more with dictatorship.

The people who committed the Armenian genocide were secularist nationalists acting during a time of Ottoman weakness.
Can I do that too as a german? Our genocide was a weakness of vienna-afficinados acting during a time of german weakness. LOL. @PanArab is a Nazi pig.

He’s an authoritarian who silences dissent, and the coup has a bunch of questionable bits.
