"Ako Turska želi i dalje biti lider u regionu, ona onda mora gajiti odnose s ljudima, a ne držati se odnosa sa ostarjelim, represivnim autokratima čiji su dani izgleda izbrojani," kaže McCurdy.
"If Turkey wants to continue to be a leader in the region, then it must cultivate relationships with the people, not hold on to its relationships with aging, repressive autocrats whose days appears to be numbered," McCurdy said.
