R.J. Rummel. author of Death by Government:QuoteDemocide had preceded the Young Turk's rule and with their collapse at the end of World War I, the successor Nationalist government carried out its own democide against the Greeks and remaining or returning Armenians. From 1900 to 1923, various Turkish regimes killed from 3,500,000 to over 4,300,000 Armenians, Greeks, Nestorians, and other Christians.

Istanbul riot police fired tear gas and rubber pellets on Sunday to disperse a march for transgender people banned after ultra-nationalists said that "degenerates" could not demonstrate.

Even less clear whether that would be a good thing or not.

president obama is standing by his islamist friend, Erdogan

President Barack Obama called on all parties to “support the democratically elected government of Turkey” on Friday amid reports of an attempted military coup in the country, an important but fickle U.S. ally that is home to a significant number of U.S. military assets and whose cooperation is considered key to defeating the Islamic State terrorist network.
Obama’s view was announced in a readout of a call between and Secretary of State John Kerry.
“The President and Secretary agreed that all parties in Turkey should support the democratically-elected Government of Turkey, show restraint, and avoid any violence or bloodshed. The Secretary underscored that the State Department will continue to focus on the safety and security of U.S. citizens in Turkey,” the statement form the White House said.

Christians pay price as extreme Islam surges after attempted coup

one part I noticed

For, despite a tolerant constitution, Protestants are not allowed to build churches in Turkey. Even the name church must be coupled to the non-threatening “association”.
"Protestants are not allowed to build churches in Turkey" and they're up for EU membership???

Gay Syrian man beheaded and mutilated in Turkey
One of his housemates, called Rayan, said a male group had kidnapped Mr Sankari about five months ago, beaten him up and raped him.
If I understand this, Turkish men don't like homosexuals, so whenever they come across one, they all have sex with him
