Actually there have been protests, but not as widespread as during this summer. I think a lot of people are just in shock over what is happening at the moment. The mere denial of the military of any chance that it will interfere is a stark reminder of old time. The turkish lira just crashed through the 3.00 lira ceiling. A week ago we were looking at 2.85 to the euro, and that already was an all time record.
