Yes, this is true to some extend. AKP supporters tend to like their Ottoman heritage more than their Turkish heritage. And seeing how Atatürk brought an end to the Ottomans, he is not liked, but not hated either since he liberated Turkey. Secularism in Turkey will never end, the only way it could would be in a brutal civil war. While every political party strives for different goals, Atatürk and his legacy are almost sacred, similiar to lets say the Declartion of Independence.
One of the worst presidents we ever had, directly responsible for out current economic problems and he defended kebab instead of removing it.

Harper was a piece of crap that was selling parts of our land to the Chinese, and now this asshat is going to make every country want to annex/invade us by being too peaceful and stupid (that quote is just fucking stupid). It's a bad time to be a Canadian.
