| 2015-05-18 |
| [Hurriyet Daily News] Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... has called on the international community and the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... to impose sanctions on Egypt after the death penalty given to former President Mohammed Morsi, blasting them for remaining silent toward Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. "Hey, Europe! Hey, West! Wasn't the death penalty prohibited there? So why are you silent? Why do you side with Sisi? I call on the entire world, international institutions: Why don't you impose sanctions?" Erdogan said on May 17 during a public rally in the Central Anatolian town of Kayseri. "You were attacking us during the Gezi protests with all your media, because the real issue was something different: To weaken ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... . But they failed. They thought we would collapse economically. But they were defeated," he added. "What has been done against Morsi and his friends is not acceptable. The world is in self-denial by keeping silent. If you say 'democracy, election,' you should see that this verdict is a sentence given to elections, to democracy, and to the national will," Erdogan said. |
