Erdogan was a classic case of fooling the electorate into voting for him and allowing a dictator to rule them.

Amazing how many times this has happened around the world.

I don't believe the coup was real.  It was very convenient, like the Reichstag fire or the "Polish" attack on the German radio station.

I think that the Kurds are one of the largest groups in the Middle East yet they have no country of their own. Over the years country borders were drawn up to suit colonial powers with no regard for the Kurds who have been split between a number of countries.

I would hope Trump tries to give some help to them for they have fought hard and suffered badly fighting against ISIS to the benefit of the West.

Amazing that the EU would even consider taking em in moisok. Whether it would be bad for Europe or not in the long run-80m extra Muslims very bad imo- didn't matter at all when Merkel offered to hurry up their entry, in return for a short term fix for a problem of her own making.

Moisok wouldn't be happy, it would play havoc with his plans for greater fluidity. He might even have to sell half his wardrobe.

In the earlier days of ISIS there were claims of them selling oil as part of their fundraising It was thought a lot of that was through Turkey so the government there must have had some knowledge of that and took no action.

However, I think that the Turkish government started to see a threat from ISIS as their overall aim is to create a large state run on religious grounds ruled by clerics and not politicians. Such a state would swallow up Turkey so then goodbye Erdogan and other politicians.

Zero risk that Turkey will join the EU in the forseeable future, so no need to worry. I know Boris Johnson said that the UK will supoort Turkey's bid to join the EU, but we don't care about the UK's opinion on that matter, and all countries have the power to veto new members.

The question is are you happy to have Turkey as a member of NATO?

no one cares if they are part of NATO as long as they are not part of Europe , what's so difficult to understand about that ?

You are expected to come to Erdogan's aid if Turkey is attacked. Not a promise you intend to keep?

Keep Turkey  out of Europe in peacetime
And in war, keep them on our side

If the Turkish people are stupid enough to vote for someone like Erdagon there is not much we can do about that

The Turkish people continue to vote for Erdogan because he has kept all his promises to them, he has built schools, colleges, roads and of course mosques. He is seen as bringing prosperity to the majority of Turks the like of which they have never seen before.

Roads and schools and colleges, well I think in Britain we have managed that without Erdogan , well I am not impressed by that , I give him no credit for that
By:
lfc1971
When: 17 Jan 18 08:15
And building mosques , well i must say that doesn't impress me much either
If it does the Turkish voters that's fine , I disagree
