 ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...

law while dissenting voices are silenced or persecuted. In the country today, there is a hysteria for new conquests and a disrespect for international law and fundamental ethics. The spirit of conquest is dominant in the modern Ottoman Turkish political scene and their regional interventions. Rooted in the Ottoman "law of the sword" — or the idea that the conqueror can rule a conquered country or territory according to his desires — Turkey has returned to its Ottoman ambitions.
One of these dissenting voices that has now been silenced is that of Burak Bekdil, who in his latest article for the Gatestone Institute focused on the hypocrisy and arrogance of modern Turkey following Erdogan’s comments during the celebrations of the fall of Constantinople where the leader lauded past conquests and referenced "many more happy conquests" in the future.
Bekdil, a well-known journalist, was fired from Turkey’s leading newspaper after 29 years for this article titled "Erdogan wishes Turkey ’many more happy conquests.’"
The question posed by the now-persecuted journalist is straight forward: What are these non-Ottoman Turkish countries and territories that Erdogan expects to conquer? As the journalist stressed, the prevailing distortion and arrogance in contemporary Ottoman Turkish politics is based on the Ottoman law of the sword.
The spirit of conquest is dominant in the modern Ottoman Turkish political scene and infects daily life within and outside of Turkey, and is visible in attacks on churches and cemeteries, forced disappearances, torture, murders, imprisonment and persecution. Such crimes are brushed over by the Ottoman Turkish state as Erdogan controls the courts and criminals are easily acquitted, with some becoming national heroes. Under the same hypocrisy and arrogance, other ethnic groups and non-Moslems are purged, and churches turned into mosques. The depredation of property — a criminal act by all means — if committed in the name of conquest is hailed as a heroic achievement. In fact, in the Ottoman Turkish educational system, there is a special celebration for the conquests.
Conquest and arrogance are at the core of Turkey’s current regional endeavors, including sending fighters and weapons to Libya, despite the UN Security Council arms embargo and condemnation from the EU and NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions...
Incidentally, the ethnic cleansing of Kurdish and other populations in the Ottoman Turkish-occupied Afrin region of Syria, is being implemented forcibly by the law of the sword. Such crimes of conquest, ethnic cleansing and colonization continue unpunished in Cyprus, while new illegal actions are underway in the Cyprus Exclusive Economic Zone, the Aegean, and the Eastern Mediterranean.
Before this neo-Ottoman law of the sword, the prevailing political perception in the EU is that dialogue should prevail. But in Turkey, the neo-Sultan and his ideology advance. As history repeats itself, very few are learning from it.
