We continue to be an embarrassment. Isolation in the corner with a pointy dunce hat.

Note the dates on the articles.

Erdoğan is considered a Tyrant like Dump here. And Güllenists are considered radical Muslims. Basically.

Is Turkey really trying to be a democracy. Or a façade of one? Like ours turned out to be after the last four years. I don't know the answer.



Turkish-American NGO urges Congress to extradite FETÖ leader Gülen

Turkey has issued multiple extradition requests to the U.S. for Gülen but despite close relations between the two countries, they have fallen on deaf ears. So far, Turkey has sent seven folders full of evidence implicating Gülen in a number of criminal cases in Turkey, but Washington has failed to take steps toward extradition. The first request was sent four days after the 2016 coup attempt and, although the United States condemned the illegal operation, it was reluctant to deport FETÖ members to Turkey.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been targeting followers of the Gülen movement, a faith based group inspired by Muslim cleric Fethullah Gülen, since the corruption investigations of December 17-25, 2013, which implicated then-Prime Minister Erdoğan, his family members and his inner circle.

Following the abortive putsch, the Turkish government declared a state of emergency and carried out a massive purge of state institutions under the pretext of an anti-coup fight. Over 130,000 public servants, including 4,156 judges and prosecutors as well as 20,571 members of the armed forces were summarily removed from their jobs for alleged membership in or relationships with “terrorist organizations” by emergency decree-laws subject to neither judicial nor parliamentary scrutiny.

Extradition of pro-Gülen businessman shows extent of Algerian-Turkish security cooperation

The Turkish community in Algeria has invested in Algeria and run successful businesses for years now, making the country a favourite destination for Turkish expats, especially those active in trade and other businesses. With the news of the Turkish dissident’s deportation, many Turkish expats suspected of being on Turkey’s wanted list for belonging to the Gülen movement are feeling anxious and confused.

Interesting side piece:

Erdogan and Gullen were best buds until their falling out a few years ago.

i'm really skeptical of the Turks claim of Gullenist being "radical" terrorist muslims given Erdogan's behavior over several years.

seems to me that Ergodan is trying to eliminate his muslim competition to protect his muslim cred.

And you say this because...

Fucking Flynn...Lock him up!

Spoiled by his position, it spoiled him to the marrow so that he took it for granted. Now he's just a washed-up, petulant, former court officer with who lost an important role.

Very poor education of yours.

I missed a question mark.

In the long reply.
