Reader comment on item: An Open Letter to Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan

Dear Sir:

Congratulations for having the bravery to write such a penetrating letter. However, I fear that the Kemalist secularist ship has sunk in the Straits of the Bosphorus, and that the neo-Ottoman Islamist ship has already docked at Ankara. A well-planned ingenious bloodless coup has taken place in Turkey. One must give the devil credit. Erdogan learned form his master Erbakan. He has done it slowly, slyly, and with great sublety. It is a tragedy for Turkey.
