Austria: Turkish Homeland and Votes Cast

austria: President Recep Tayyip Erdogan speaks for all of us, says Ogelge, when asked why he voted to strengthen his powers, according to Brandon Sun. In Austria, in Turkey everywhere. But his heart is in his Turkish homeland and beats for its president, even as Europe's democracies raise the alarm over the Turkish leader's push toward one-man rule. Ogelge is far from alone. More than 70 per cent voted yes in Austria, the Netherlands and Belgium, and more than 60 per cent in Germany and France. While nearly half overall of those who voted last month opposed a referendum giving Erdogan more power, many of the 1.4 million votes cast in Europe tell a different story.
