The Grand Turk
Legislator sued for calling Turkey's Erdogan 'fascist dictator'

[DAWN] Ottoman Turkish state television
... 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
...anybody not a leftist...
dictator."

Lawmaker Bulent Tezcan, who is the front man for the main opposition party, made the comments in a town in northwest The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...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.
