Turkey's Referendum Slashes Through Extremes of Rhetoric

Erdogan faces a polarized nation with escalating clashes at rallies and a widening rift with European allies. US officials note Turkish opposition to any Syria plan involving Kurdish groups. Protests followed Dutch and German diplomatic tensions as ministers were blocked from campaigning. Polls show a split or lean toward no, signaling high stakes for Erdogan's future rule.
