| US Threatens Turkey With Economic Sanctions Over Imprisoned American Clergyman |
| 2018-07-26 |
| h/t Red State In the aftermath of the abortive 2016 coup in Turkey, American citizen and Evangelical pastor to the Izmir Resurrection Church, Andrew Brunson was swept up and jailed. He was initially accused of working with the PKK, working with American intelligence, and trying to overthrow the Islamist dictatorship of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. ...The strategy of the Erdogan regime seems to be to hold Brunson as hostage until the US extradites a Turkish preacher, Fethullah Gulen, whom Erdogan blames for everything from crop failure to boils on the ass. In particular, he blames him for the 2016 coup attempt. ... Vice President Mike Pence ✔ @VP If Turkey does not take immediate action to free Pastor Andrew Brunson and send him home to America, the United States will impose significant sanctions on Turkey until this innocent man of faith is free. 6:06 PM - Jul 26, 2018 |
