"Well done, Erdoğan!

TDN editorial by Yusuf KANLI
Very much like the government offices within the country, diplomatic missions abroad function along the guidelines set by laws, regulations, written and verbal orders from the Foreign Ministry or written instructions from some other relevant departments of the country forwarded to them by the Foreign Ministry. Of course, there might be nuances in application that reflect the personality, mindset and qualifications of an envoy, but embassies or consulates are neither �autonomous� nor the �farm� of the ambassador or consul general. They just cannot behave any way they like."
