This is an interesting story, and possibly very significant.
It comes the day after Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan
suffered significant setbacks in Sunday's election, losing to the
opposition in Ankara and possibly in Istanbul as well.
Turkey is in an economic crisis, with 20% unemployment, 20% inflation
rate, and 40% fall of the lira currency in the last year.
