Erdogan moment
[DAWN] IT was in July 2016 that the world witnessed a truly made-for-TV-moment in ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , with tens of thousands of ordinary people coming onto the streets of Ankara and Istanbul to thwart a coup against the government of Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First  ... 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.... For us in Pakistain, which, like Turkey, has a chequered history as a militarised state, the popular response to the coup attempt appeared almost magical. Posted by: Fred 2018-06-02 |
