Populist for sure, but his actions are not any better as well

Reader comment on item: Erdoğan Fails to Conquer New York City
in response to reader comment: look at his works not his words

Submitted by Alexandros (United Kingdom), Sep 25, 2014 at 05:27

You wrote about how he treats Jewish businessmen behind closed doors, but does this mean he actually likes them or is it that he just needs their money and influence?

The actions of Erdogan do speak for themselves.

Supporting ISIS actively, by providing, weapons, warriors and logistic support.

Overthrow Assad by any means, just because he will never co-operate with Turkey again

Trap the Kurds in Sunni controlled countries and hold them as hostages so to avoid perhaps the unavoidable, the creation of an independent Kurdish state!

Proceed with his nuclear programme and co-operate with Russia

Control the energy roads from Kaukasus to Europe so to control Europe, by using energy as a weapon, just like Russia does in Ukraine

Surround the Israelis by countries with regimes controlled by Turkey

Conquer the whole of Cyprus and justify the occupation and the genocide he commited on the island

Expand in the Balkans and surround Greece with hostile regimes he will control through Islamic extremists

Use the extremists in collaboration with Qatar so to create proxy wars with any one he has problems or any one who doesn't submit!

That's who Erdogan is, a Terrifying and dangerous person, a common terrorist, perhaps the biggest in the world!
