What could be seen or said about this?
Democracy by default isn't a sure thing, as it can be manipulated. Recently i have been seeing this 51 vs 49 more often in democratic places, which to me seems VERY VERY FISHY..do keep in mind i am skeptical and i ask too many questions.
Any ways let's say it is "legit" and this is REALLY the result of the referendum of 51% vs 49%. What does this say about Turkey's future?
Turkey in the past had the glue named Turkish nationalism. With this referendum it clearly shows the unity among the people does not exist or has faded away. Turks as we already have seen lately have been divided to Kemalists (secular Turks) vs AKP-supporters vs Gulen-supporters. I am not mentioning Armenians and Kurds, because that is a different subject. So right now the dividends already exists with the Turks themselves.
Because of this slight change we could say Kemalists + Gulen supporters + many Kurds (although not all off course) + Armenians (although i don't know if they are like some Kurds are pro-AKP) have voted against it (49 percent).
Turks by this large portion of the country have never disagreed with each other. In the past Turks themselves go a long just fine, while Kurds for majority were the one fighting back. Now the group fighting back has gained good amount of people. This could be resulting in a civil war. Why do i say this? Because people who have never faced oppression will off course at the beginning fight back.
This fighting is VERY convenient for either Russia OR NATO. So again i come back to the issue of IF Turkey chooses to side with Russia, NATO supporting the opposition with demonstrations as well as military power (PKK). If Turkey chooses for NATO, Russia supporting the same..although i think rather they would openly but more actively support PKK. As just recently PKK had downed a Turkish Cobra helicopter with a Russian IGLA manpad. As a Kurd myself i have NEVER known this happen in all the years PKK has fought Turkey. So this clearly turns things 180 degrees the other side.
