Bulent Aliriza, director of the CSIS Turkey Program, was quoted by Bloomberg, “Erdogan Faces Ouster Threat from Lawyers, Not Army."
Every Turkish leader who won an election victory as big as Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's 2007 triumph was forced from office by the military.
Erdogan may be different: He's facing a threat from lawyers. [...]
"This is a dangerous situation, and it's not going to get better," said Bulent Aliriza, head of the Turkey program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. "Turkey is set for a long conflict between these world views, with no resolution in sight."
