Among external factors, the botched EU accession process contributed to Turkey’s democratic regression. Destabilizing regional developments, especially in Syria, also played a role.
In this regard,What are the main issues for the Syrian Armed Forces?
The main issue remains choosing whether the Syrian armed forces (SAF) will focus more on conventional operations or internal security. Russia can be a key player in the future of Syrian forces.
Similarly one may ask,How are democracies falling apart in the world?
The steady dismantling of democratic norms and practices by democratically elected leaders, what we call “authoritarianization,” marks a significant change in the way that democracies have historically fallen apart. Data on authoritarian regimes show that until recently, coups have been the primary threats to democracy.
Beside above,Is the government of Hungary an ostensible democracy?
Hungary remains an ostensible democracy, holding regular elections, passing laws in parliament, and adjudicating conflicts in the courts. But the legal changes since 2010 have given the ruling party’s slogan a ring of inevitability: “Only Fidesz!”
When did Turkey start sending tanks to Syria?
In 2008, 60 Turkish M-60 tanks crossed over Iraq’s border in the Operation Sun offensive targeting PKK bases. When the Syrian civil war erupted, Ankara deployed M-60 tanks along the border and provided support to rebels opposed to Syrian Pres. Bashar Al Assad.
