[DAWN] ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe? says a lawyer for President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... has filed a criminal complaint against an opposition politician for calling the leader a "fascist ![]() dictator." Lawmaker Bulent Tezcan, who is the front man for the main opposition party, made the comments in a town in northwest ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... on Monday, to support a local mayor who was questioned by authorities for reportedly calling Erdogan a "dictator." TRT television says Erdogan's lawyer filed a complaint on Tuesday, accusing Tezcan of insulting the president a crime that is punishable by up to four years in prison. Erdogan has filed similar complaints against close to 2,000 people before withdrawing them after last year's failed coup as a goodwill gesture. |
