Lol, nope
The akp is no longer supported by a majority of kurds.
How do you know ?
Do you live in Turkey ?
Do you have Kurdish relatives ?
A personal vendetta is banal and understandable but please peddle your ignorance and hate on some other board ?
I had no idea you were a mod?
Or just one of erdogans cronies. Maybe you can beat some kurds up when you come to the us.

Wonder what will happen when Turkey start killing American backed Kurdish fighters ?
We'll pointedly look the other way. Just like when Saddam started killing Iraqi Kurds.
Also, notice how quiet the US government was when the Iraqi Kurds attempted secession again last year. That attempt collapsed almost overnight once it became clear that neither the US nor Russia were going to support them.

You obviously are a supporter.
You have justified everything he does.
Jailing reporters, judges, teachers, his move against kurds this year has had a huge effect you won't recognize, and his economic smoke and mirrors you won't even address...
Deny ignorance.

The US will abandon the Kurds....as it always has.
Defending the Kurds might be the right thing to do, but is not the most profitable or politically practical thing to do...... and so the USA will throw them under the bus as profit and politics come before morality.......
Sames goes for France and the UK, they will throw the kurds under the bus too for the same reason.

So your only argument once again is its the media.
So he hasn't jailed more journalists, more judges, more teachers than any other country?
The kurds don't support the HDP, the economy isn't a bubble, and he hasn't made changes in the Constitution to give himself more power.
Got it.
Keep using that one tag line you have though without any supporting evidence except "because I said so"

Most kurds did not vote for erdogan. I did Google it.
And this summer was a pretty big deal to kurds and the akp hemridged kurds even more.
But sure it's all the boogeyman man...it can't be the guy is practically a fascist.

The difference is the non blind can say nato is wrong as well. That US foreign policy is shady.
People defending erdogan because us foreign policy is bad is simply rediculous.
It's like picking one crappy politician over another and digging your heals in.
It's just a stupid arguement.

It's actually strange to hear everyone in this thread parrot MSM. Cringe worthy.
I don't like Erdogan but I do realize NATO/US have a track record of using the Kurds when it suits them. It also wouldn't surprise me that the last remains of ISIS (Erik Prince's mercenary as you called it) were holed up with US backed Kurdish mercenaries in Syria.

It is indeed toe cringing .
Kurdish mercenaries or ISIS both armed by Pentagon and used for certain agenda , obviously .
Most of those so called " Kurdish Mercs " are actually Armenians who hid their ID's .
I know this issue is really complicated and requires a dilligent approach .
Unfortunately , people just roll in and shoot their load and leave , so to speak .
Btw , Erdogan recently referred to " Firmament " above our head coming down soon and " Sun " that never set will arise too he said in a speech .
If I was a Conspiracy type of guy ; I would ask what or who is really threatened by Erdogan's hints about the Dome.
