If he can be voted out then by definition that is not a dictatorship.

It's hard to believe these days that Erdogan once was a pretty good leader. As the mayor of Istanbul he really helped transform the city in a good way (with enough exceptions, but still). But unfortunately he fell in all the traps that so many people that are given too much power for too long seem to do.

Please wish Turkish people luck! It is so important not only for Turkey but all countries who live under dictatorships.

Meanwhile, &quot;In response to legal process and to ensure Twitter remains available to the people of Turkey, we have taken action to restrict access to some content in Turkey today.&quot;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;GlobalAffairs&#x2F;status&#x2F;1657219168863756288" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;GlobalAffairs&#x2F;status&#x2F;1657219168863756288</a>

Given the election frauds in the last Erdogan elections, I doubt it.

Could you elaborate about the alternatives to Erdogan and their thoughts?

Erdogan was a good leader as long as he was applying his beliefs. Once he decided to listen to the most uneducated part of turkey he became a dictator. More than 40% of the people still like him. If it wasn&#x27;t the earthquake we would still be first!<p>On the other side, Kilicdaroglu is a worst nationalist than Erdogan. Most probably for me, he will try to exploit the situation and become the new king. I hope the other members will hold him.

Erdogan is not a dictator.<p>* Turks are able to boo and mock and yell at him all day everyday in social media.<p>* The man won 15 elections in 20 years.<p>* Half of Turks voted for him today, and so did I.<p>* If he can be voted out, it’s not dictatorship.

Good luck. We&#x27;ll see what happens, but I don&#x27;t think it will be as &#x27;peaceful&#x27; or will go as expected either way. I hope I&#x27;m wrong.

I hope there will be change to a more secular government.

One can only hope that Turkey does not become a religious dictatorship.

While I strongly wish Erdogan will be ousted tomorrow, it&#x27;s rather unfortunate that if he his, he&#x27;ll be replaced by a hard-core socialist, and there is therefore a sizable likelihood that Turkey will be in an even worse shape in the hands of the next leader.
