Turkish PM warns Europe against meddling in affairs

2017-03-12

[AA.TR] Turkish premier has warned Europe not to interfere in the nation's internal affairs, hours after Dutch government canceled Turkish foreign minister's flight permit.

Speaking at a rally in western Balikesir province, Binali Yildirim said some European countries hosted PKK, Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) members and anti-~~The Sick Man of Europe~~ Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
figures.

"Do not do that! I warn that this does not fit into friendship, [and] alliance. Those who become friends of Turkey's enemies will display enmity against Turkey," the prime minister said.

Dutch Foreign Ministry announced early Saturday in a statement the Netherlands canceled Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu's flight permit on grounds of "security" and "public safety". The foreign minister was scheduled to address the Turkish community in the Dutch city of Rotterdam later Saturday.

#4 Do you mean as a Turkish possession not yet firmly grasped, or as having limited self-rule,

Yep tw. Some where on the continuum between Diplomatic puppet and indentured servitude.

The EU bureaucracy reminds me of the manderinates of the Chinese emperors. Doesn't matter who is on top as long as the bureaucracy lives on.

#3 The question is "How many EUrocrats regard it the same way?"

Do you mean as a Turkish possession not yet firmly grasped, or as having limited self-rule, AlanC?

#2 Erdogan's statement makes sense only on the condition that one regards Europe as a Turkish possession with limited self-rule.

Which is exactly the way that Yippie regards the EU. The question is "How many EUrocrats regard it the same way?"

My betting is that the number is >0.
