ISTANBUL (Reuters) -Turkish President Erdogan Saturday expel US ambassador and nine other Western countries for demanding the release of philanthropist Osman Kavala.
Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, New Zealand, US
- Seven of the ambassadors represent Turkey's NATO allies
- expulsions would open deepest rift with West in Erdogan's 19 years in power.
- 10 ambassadors must be declared persona non grata at once
- "They will know and understand Turkey" he said to cheers from the crowd
My comments :
Act in haste repent at your leisure. For 19 years this turkey has been leading Turkey.
Here is Turkey under Erdogan's leadership :
As you can see above the GDP has actually been shrinking over the past eight years. And GDP growth rates (below) are see-sawing above and below 0 percent growth.
Here is the Turkish Lira. Nine years ago one Lira was worth 56 US cents. Today it is 10 US cents per Lira.
And here is inflation in Turkey over the past 10 years. Its was above 12% in 2020.
This is not a good Report Card at all for Erdogan. He has been mismanaging Turkey.
But Erdogan has found the right formula to "con"-vince the Turkish voters. He has played up bangsa, agama and negara in Turkey.
Erdogan wants to re-create the failed Ottoman Caliphate.
He has also embarked on wars in Syria, Libya and Azerbaijan.
Sadly a sufficient number of Turks have bought into his b.s.
