So there's a lot of news going on surrounding Turkey lately, especially considering its EU hopeful status and """""President""""" Erdogan and his party, the AKP's, increasing attempts to Islamize the traditionally secular country.

If you're unaware, Erdogan is basically a gigantic lolcow and rising dictator who somehow managed to become President. Since becoming President in August 2014, he has filed at least 1,845 court cases against individuals for insulting him. He also arrested someone over a fucking meme, pressured Merkel into prosecuting a German comedian who mocked him, has compared birth control to treason because Muslim women must have children, and, upon being told that he couldn't speak at Muhammad Ali's funeral, threw a fit and refused to go.

Other recent happenings in Turkey:
Anyway, I was inspired to create this thread after reading this article:

With President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the helm in Turkey, there’s no need for anyone else in the country to engage in politics, presidential adviser Yiğit Bulut has said.

“There is already a leader in this country and he is engaging in politics. There is no need for anyone else to engage in politics. He is engaging in politics both at home and abroad. Our duty is to support the leader in this country,” Bulut, Erdoğan’s chief economy adviser, said during a program on state television TRT Haber on June 14.

Bulut also criticized recent student protests in many high schools and universities.

“You are hitting each other’s heads as if it was the Stone Age. What is the thing you cannot share?” Bulut said.

Bulut, a former news anchor and editor-in-chief of the private broadcaster 24 TV, was appointed as then-Prime Minister Erdoğan’s chief adviser in July 2013 during which time he unraveled a vast and nefarious international conspiracy to assassinate Erdoğan “using telekinesis.” After Erdoğan’s election as president in August 2014, he was appointed as his chief adviser on economics.

Okay, so...
  • Apparently only the Sultan dictator President can engage in politics, everyone else needs to shut the fuck up. That's super comforting to hear from the presidential advisor.
  • "Our duty is to support the leader in this country" That's funny, here in the West, we believe that it's the leader's duty to support the people, not vice versa.
  • “You are hitting each other’s heads as if it was the Stone Age. What is the thing you cannot share?” This probably made a lot more sense in Turkish because I have no idea what the fuck this lunatic is saying.
  • "During which time he unraveled a vast and nefarious international conspiracy to assassinate Erdoğan 'using telekinesis.' After Erdoğan’s election as president in August 2014, he was appointed as his chief adviser on economics." :story::story::story:

Dunno why, but I was honestly hoping this thread would be about turkeys.

Which honestly, would be a lot less depressing than the shit I just read. No offense @Cosmos.
 
Just a reminder that this country is also pushing a lot of their people to migrate over to Europe. If you think it's bad now, just wait and see if they actually get into the EU.

Their propaganda wing disguised as "free" press also called the people that were killed in the Orlando shooting "perverts". How progressive and culturally enriched they are.
 
Kemal Ataturk is rolling in his grave at the buffoon running his nation into the ground.
 
Turkey was shit under Ataturk and Ataturk was shit himself. Turkey is shit now under Erdogan, and I would be very surprised if it wasn't destined to be that way forever. I'm almost surprised anyone bothers to discuss it at this point, except for the baffling fact that Europe continues to treat with Turkey as if it were a European country and for some reason the occupation of Crete goes completely ignored, so people keep having to remind everyone that Turkey still exists and is violating international law.

It's just a giant clusterfuck of ignorant tribes people pretending to be European tbh.
 
it mind boggles me how a country who is literally occupying half of a fucking EU country and denies a genocide is being considered to join the fucking EU.
Also reminded you guys that it nearly drove nato and russia into war because said retards decided to occupy part of the syrian border,call it turkish territory and once a russia fighter plane crossed the ''border'' (russian and syrian maps still call it part of syria) and shot it down in 15 seconds.
Another great think is that Erdogan is buying oil from Isis and treating their injured in turkish hospitals.

Not quite, unfortunately. A lot of Turks support Erdogan. From what I understand, people who live in the cities are generally liberal and hate Islamist policies, but the poor and uneducated in the underdeveloped villages are the opposite. I also heard that the AKP got people in said villages to vote for them by giving them free coal.

But yeah, unfortunately there are still a lot of Islamists in Turkey who want to undermine secularism. Erdogan is doing that for them.
 
He imprisons german journalists who mock him, fires professors who post memes of him, etc.

He is a dictator with a seriously insecure personality.
 
He is literally the Middle East's answer to the Kim Jong dynasty in North Korea. This is also proof that Kuwait's better than Turkey despite Turkey having a lot of beautiful cities and being bigger. At least we don't have lolcows like they do.

Every country is better than Turkey let's be honest. They either have more freedom, more style, or are at least funnier.

That's what so hilarious to me. Erdogan doesn't look like a hardass, no-nonsense, glorious Sultan, he looks like a fucking insecure lolcow who is too thin-skinned to handle people making fun of him. All of his lawsuits and arrests have done the opposite of what he wants; after all, what kind of leader can't take a joke? Do you think Obama throws a fit every time someone on Facebook posts a meme about him?
