Erdogan: If death penalty demanded, Turkey ‘will abide’
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] If the Turkish public want the death penalty following last month’s failed coup
In which the Reichstag was burned in Ankara, you remember...
then political parties would follow their will, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
 said at a rally in Istanbul on Sunday.
Sultan Recep I has repeated this theme a number of times in recent days. How long until his loyal subjects make his their will known?
"If the nation makes such a decision (in support of death penalty), I believe political parties will abide by this decision," Erdogan said during a unity rally in Yenikapi square in the touristic Sultanahmet district.

"It is the Turkish parliament that will decide on this (death penalty) given the illusory sovereignty rests with the nation... I declare it in advance, I will approve the decision made by the parliament," Erdogan said.
