French news service Agence France Presse reports the opposition to Erdogan's increasingly autocratic rule in Turkey has become more unified and better organized. That opposition is the secular Republican People's Party (CHP).
Erdogan, who started out as a reformer, has morphed into an embryonic sultan. He once famously said "Democracy is like a streetcar, when you reach your destination you get off." His behavior in office suggests he has not changed that ominous view. All who were sad to see Turkey losing its democracy and decidedly western flavor will cheer this news.
