“President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has accused Turkey’s western allies of arming terrorists and killers who target Muslims around the world.”
Erdogan is a master propagandist. It’s the other way around. Muslims are persecuting Christians worldwide, targeting Jews in the State of Israel and in Europe, targeting Hindus in India, Yazidis in Iraq, and Muslims they deem to be not Muslim enough. Those considered infidels or apostates are routinely targeted, in accordance with Islamic doctrine.
But it is a crucial part of Erdogan’s scheme to present Muslims as victims. Erdogan has also been aggressively pushing the Islamophobia canard, all in service of his dream of a revived Ottoman Empire.
“All terrorists who kill Muslims have Western weapons: Turkish President Erdoğan”, Hürriyet Daily News, February 9, 2019:
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has accused Turkey’s western allies of arming terrorists and killers who target Muslims around the world.
“Those who give weapons to terrorists with blood-soaked hands create unimagined obstacles when Turkey seeks to buy the same weapons. From Daesh and PKK to Al Qaida and Al Shabaab, all terror organizations that shed the blood of Muslims have Western weapons in their hands,” Erdoğan said in Istanbul on Feb. 9 at the launch ceremony of a new test and training ship.
“The murderers of PYD/YPG, who conduct an ethnic cleansing in northern Syria, have the rockets, bombs and ammunition of our allies. Facing such a picture, Turkey cannot wait with tied-up hands or delegate its national security to other countries,” he added.
Erdoğan had signaled earlier this month that a cross-border operation against the YPG will happen soon. Since 2016, Ankara has carried out two similar military operations in northern Syria with the help of Free Syrian Army members.
Although a military operation seems to have been shelved for now following President Donald Trump’s surprise decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, Turkey has made clear that it will never tolerate the presence of the YPG on its borders even if it comes to an agreement with the Assad regime to maintain control of the east of Euphrates River.
On Feb. 9, Erdoğan also said Turkey’s military capabilities will “help its presence on the table” in its moves to end the war in Syria, as well as in its anti-terror fight……

Time to replace Turkey with Israel in NATO. What constitutional procedures are required to accomplish this?
It’s unbelievable that we westerners allow this fox to guard our hen-house.

When is this islamist going to be kicked out of NATO
A_M_Swallow says
It may be easier to get Turkey to resign from NATO. France left in the 1960s so there is a way.

Erdogan is a psychopath who presents the perpetrators as victims. He wants to punch the world in the face and then demand that the world apologize for making him do it. This is probably why his population likes him… they are raised in the psychopathy of Islamic IDEOLOGY. Moreover, as each successive generation of Turks continues in the re-Islamized school system, they will imbibe the toxic supremacism of Islam as the Hitler Youth imbibed Hitlerism.

Syria should be broken up in smaller states (following the example of the Yugoslav breakup). There should be an independent Kurdistan. The Allowites in Syria should revert to holding a smaller coastal state and the interior should be handed to a new Sunnite entity. All of this should be approved through plebiscites.

This would reward Jihad, Mortimer.
A_M_Swallow says
I suspect it is 100% the other way round. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will turn out to be the man aiming the Muslim terrorists, probably at the West. Follow the money and phone calls.

Yes–nothing but projection.
somehistory says
It’s all in his definition of “terrorism.”
According to moslims such as this raving creep, what they do is not “terrorism”…even though they are purposely “striking terror” in the hearts of the victims and those who hear about it.
When moslims kill, rape, or otherwise “terrorize” …they consider it working for their false god and following the commands of their false prophet. In their eyes, they are justified. But when these terrorists are killed for their terrorism, they see it as a crime.

The future of Turkey is Christianity.

If I remember correctly Prebangian, Brother (or was it ‘Father’?) Piasios of Mt Athos said exactly that…
observer says
Pardon me…
It was +Elder Piasios+ of Mt Athos.

I *wish* this were true–but today most Christians in Turkey have been long since been driven out or murdered. Turkey today is 99% Muslim. Surviving Christians make up .2% of the population there.
black adder says
And most of these people descend from Christian populations who were converted to Islam by force. Islam is the only thing that binds the people of Turkey together, this is why Erdogan has invested so much in it.
Horseman says
It’s more likely that the west is arming non-Muslims to protect against Muslims who are killing non-Muslims all over the world.
Max says
This is the guy that is in partnership with Putin and the Ayatollah. These three thugs have enough blood on their hands to fill up a river.
