'Amusingly' it's a lot of the expat / emigrant Turks who vote for the fucker, presumably because it doesn't impact them too much beyond peripheral benefits (eg. their Euros convert to a lot more Lire when they go back, etc).
The UK is one of the few countries where the majority of 'Turks'* voted for the opposition...

That said, and I hate to say this, but I agree with your 'supermarket queue' comment - I do find a lot of the Turks here in London Really Fucking Rude. I don't remember them being like this a few years back. Wondering whether they're like the UK ex-pat communities in places like Spain, where they now have such a number that they think that don't need to adhere to local customs and norms, so become utterly contemptible.
* I put this in single quotes because I suspect a lot of the Turks here in the UK are more Kurdish.

- Turks/Kurds same same but different.Beeswax
- I think there's a difference between migrants and expats. Rude ones are migrants who formed their closed society a while ago and dont give a fuck.Beeswax
- Also the ones in USA are very different than the ones in Europe & UK. USA>UK>Europe in terms of migrant quality/adaptibility...Beeswax

The truth is Turks don't deserve anyone better than Erdogan.
People who oppose him are as bad as his followers.
A rotten culture. I haven't seen worst in my 45 years on this rock.This is a country where I fight with people almost everyday waiting in supermarket line because they don't give a fuck if you were waiting there before them.
And they want to be ruled by a fair leader?This is not a reaction to the results, I secretly wanted him to stay even though i voted for others, I let go of my emotional ties a long time ago.
- the economy is going to implode pretty soon. It wont be different than Argentina.Beeswax
- They'll sabre rattle against Greece, threaten to pull out of NATO and support Russia, open the immigrant floodgates to Europe...the usual tricks to get $$$_niko
- oh and pretend to fight terrorism inside and outside their borders. I guess all this only helps the cronies at the top and not actual Turks._niko
- But I guess it's all good, I imagine there are thousands and thousands of cranes in the sky building and reinforcing buildings to prevent another disaster..._niko

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on 28th June 1914, it triggered a chain of events that resulted in World War 1. After the assassination, Austria-Hungary threatened war on Serbia.

Turkey could join bloc with Russia and China instead of EU, President Erdogan says
Mr Erdogan said he had already discussed the idea with Russian President Vladimir Putin- Makes sense, I suppose. The EU doesn't want Turkey as a member.
Fill your boots, Erdogan, if it makes you happy.Continuity
- Makes sense, I suppose. The EU doesn't want Turkey as a member.

@Hijo
Last night they got some info that there might be another attempt in Adana, where incirlik airbase is.
The coup night Turkish tanker aircrafts have taken off from here to refuel F-16s that got commanded by a coup commander.That got AKP government mad despite Americans have no control over Turkish Airforce planes that fly on and off this airbase.
I don't think there was a real threat last night, it seemed like just a show off to US Marine Corps general Joseph Dunford who arrived to Incirlik base to have talks with Turkish PM today.
I think Turkish gov is trying to use Gulen factor as a diplomatic leverage. Since US doesn't accept to expel him.
Regardless of US having a role in all of this, AKP is trying to say that US is to blame in both cases.This is my guess since AKP's paid twitter trolls have trended the hashtag #YankeeGoHome today.

RT reporting some heavy shit right now but i dont trust them. Wtf.

Some update:
- Pro-gov and anti-coup people go out every night with their cars and flags and honk until 3am. Pretty annoying. But Erdogan calls them out on the street with SMS messages.
- The main opposition party, also one of the two alternatives of seculars, CHP, is organizing a democracy rally on Sunday in Istnabul Taksim square.
I wasn't sure if the AKP was going to allow that since they declared state of emergency last night.
But VERY interestingly, they actually invited people to go that rally and even made public buses free for that event.Now that is very interesting. One can not avoid thinking if it's kind of a trap.
But if it's not, it's a very good sign for normalisation and unity in the country.
I'm not sure if I'll go, my mom and my wife will freak out if I go since there might be a threat from ISIS, PKK or even AKP supporters.We'll see...

4 years ago in Amsterdam, I was biking home from my work when I saw a couple writing stuff in the walls and road with Edding markers and chalk.
I stopped because they looked fun and we started to talk...
They were writing "Fuck Erdogan" and "Stop Erdogan" everywhere because people needed to know how bad he was.
So we talked a bit about Turkish politics.
They were a bit drunk and they were funny but they knew what they were talking about and they were really serious about it.
I hope they're well.
