I see the Turkish PM spoke to spoke to several hundred thousand supporters at another park today.
This dead democracy is showing some life...

So he has a few hundred party faithful, so what does that prove? Even amongst that crowd would have been people who disagreed with him over the protests but were still faithful to the party or Islam.

My comment was aimed at the OP, who breathlessly pronounced this "the death of democracy".
TV3 reported the crowd at several hundred thousand.

Nope. I said democracy is dead. Anything we are given after that is merely a placation.

The OP's comment was more a repeat of what many others have been saying around the rise of Islamic values in Turkey.
Several hundred thousand out of nearly 100 million and given that many, as already observed, would not be supporting what the prime minister is doing but be more party/Islamic faithful. The numbers still doesn't justify the governments reaction to initially peaceful protests stating their disagreement with policy.

From the Turkish Embassy website in New Zealand:

"The Republic of Turkey has been pursuing, since its establishment, a peaceful, realistic and consistent foreign policy guided by the principle “Peace at Home and Peace Abroad” set out by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Turkey conducts a foreign policy generating security and stability in its region and beyond based on its democratic and secular political system, vibrant economy and its tradition of reconciling modernity with its cultural identity."

You two are obviously onto the real story. Better give the treasury a call, I'm sure they'd welcome your input.
