"Erdogan Makes A Turkey Out of Obama. Bad Pun, Important Thought
Sorry for the bad pun. But it's 1:30 a.m. Monday morning.
Turkish political culture is now in tatters. Or, rather, its sensible political culture is in tatters. But the sensible Kemalists were no longer so sensible. They were corrupt, they were very authoritarian, they exported what some of them explicitly called their 'surplus population' to Europe. These were mostly Kurds with Turkish passports. Now, some of them are called 'Germans.' But the reality is that many of them are internal Kurdish exiles. This is not a stable situation."
