But the creation of a wider siege mentality to boost domestic support also requires the invention of external co-conspirators – global financial markets, the international media, or even Turkey’s NATO allies. Such allegations have been a part of the government’s conspiratorial rhetoric since last summer’s protests, and the authorities dismissed the recent corruption accusations against Erdoğan in the same way.
另一重危险是与西方的日渐疏远。有了新的人民授权，政府可能开始起诉葛兰主义者，指控他们的犯罪行为。但营造更广的受害心理以巩固国内支持还需要外部合作者的干预——全球金融市场、国际媒体、甚至土耳其的北约盟国。这些指控自去年的示威以来便已成为政府阴谋论的一部分，而当局打击针对埃尔多安的腐败指控也是如法炮制。
