Surely Erdogan's end goal with reinstating capital punishment is to purge, in the worst sense of the word, all of his remaning political opponents. It's sad to see a relatively moderate, free, and democratic country backslide like this.

Hope the rest of my family can get out of that country before things get worse.

"First of all we will chop off the heads of those traitors," Erdogan told a rally in Istanbul, prompting cries from the crowds that capital punishment should be restored in Turkey.

"I spoke to the prime minister and... when they appear in court, let's make them appear in uniform suits like in Guantanamo," Erdogan said.
