Recep Tayyip Erdogan weighs Turkey role in Gaza stabilization force

What is depressing is that the Turkish protests will likely fail. The protests are fairly incoherent, the CHP and the people have an obvious disconnect between them and unless strikes start happening or the protests suddenly greatly increase in number we have no leverage. The government resigning is a far off goal anyway RTE will leave his presidency only if a mob drags him out by force and early elections are also unlikely. İmamoğlu may get released (due to the sheer lack of evidence that even the absurdly rigged judiciary may not be able to convict him on anything) however the diploma that's been revoked due to rules-lawyering technicality nonsense can remain as such (deliciously ironic as our dear leader's diploma is also an urban myth). Maybe I'm pessimistic after having lived my entire life under this regime. Anyway these are my views.
