Turkey 2014 is not Iran 1979, but Orwell’s 1984

Therefore, when I look at Erdoğan’s policies, I see George Orwell’s 1984 rather than Iran right after the Revolution. For example, only married heterosexual sex for the purpose of providing children for the Party is accepted in Orwell’s Oceania, with all other forms considered sexcrimes. Erdoğan’s desire to monitor people’s residences is the epitome of “big brother watching.”
