"Erdogan government is terrified of the potential exposure of corruption cases where government officials are directly involved.

The implications of this are far and wide as other countries, especially democracies, become suspicious of Turkey's positions."

It seems the Erdogan government, know they are fully exposed, but only care as to the consequences. This is a long story stretching back centuries.

Other 'democracies' are not watching and will not watch. Turkey is another corrupt regime supported by the US, EU and UN to serve political ends.

We are seeing more of the story than ever before, but no solutions in sight.

Typical, locked up, intractable, hate politics.

I got my full education on Turkey by watching " midnight express". It was all very helpful towards convincing me homophobia is the way to go!

They are moslems, and Islam does not permit democracy.
So why is anyone surprised ?

Yes and confected stage managed terror attacks blamed on a persecuted minority. And doesn't that have a familiar ring?

A peace deal had been struck and the tyrant's place in the polls looked perilous! So out comes a bombing, a destroyed peace; and as always, a convenient Kurd scapegoat!

They're working on a hit song " Turussa First".
