I think that rather than talking about particular models, of which there could be a huge number, we should talk about basic principles of democracy. After all, even within the West, there is no single standard and single model.

As far as I know, Russians are the first among tourists going to Turkey last year three million Russians visited that country, although its climate zone is almost the same as the one of the Black sea region.
