A great article. But it does not answer the question that the article itself raises..Why? Why from such a great beginning did Erdogan become a half crazed dictator? Was it the seeking after more power? The desire to build a new Ottoman Empire? To lead the Sunni Muslim world to even more dominance. An Australian prime minister has described the desire to acquire more power as an Aphrodisiac, (Malcolm Turnbull in his book A Bigger Picture), It would be a very welcome addition for the author to give us his thoughts.
