	Oh, ya. Go ahead. Tell me that the democracy was born in Turkey.
BTW, what was Turkey when Athens had democracy. And something else. Talking
about democracy what do you have to do with that. Does your country and 
your government know what democracy is? Did you ever have democracy before?
If yes, then when? And if no, then try to bring democracy home and then tell
us about our democracy.
