The Nazis and the AKP have one point in common: both are using democratic means with the aim of establishing a totalitarian system.

The allegedly planned counter move by the parliament against the court is more rhetoric than anything else. It won’t happen.

There is already some speculations as to the possibility that the closure case will be dismissed because the overturning of amendments rendered null and void the biggest cause for closure. Wishful thinking? Maybe. But who knows?

To compare the AKP to the nazis is utterly shamefull. This shows your lack of understanding with this issue thus making your coments rather poinless in that you fail to mentaly understand what is going on in the country and what the judisiary has become, dont forget that these same judges or there afiliates could be part of a plan that was implemented by an underground nationalist group who were planing on cariying out terorist arracks in turkey against there own people. Im only sudjesting a conection becouse the 160 page indictment was found in one of the members hideouts saved on a cd 2 days prior to being anounced and filed by the prosecutor. Knowing this to be the case you can also make the same comparison to the nazis furthermore if an islamic nationalist group was found to be planing terorrist attacks what would be the outcome? This is lunasy, utter lunasy.

All well and true but what you fail to state is the fact that the judisiary has become highly politisiesd in its executive rulings and thus has lost its overall indipendence. The headscarf isseu is apoling to say the least, in america women can wear it but in turkey its prohibited? and i sapose this what you call democracy? Its utterly wrong in my opinion and very backward behavior, the judges should question wether they are members of the Turkish Republic! In my humble opinion they should be tried for treason, there actions have once again took Turkey a step back in the wrong direction… Shame on them all.

Let us remember one detail: The AKP doesn’t have the two thirds actually. And they would need them not only to overrule the court, but also to amend the constitution.

This means that the MHP would have to go along in both votes.
