Turkey Madness

Yesterday Germany has acknowledged the Armenian genocide.

The German parliament has overwhelmingly voted to label the 1915 killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks as "genocide", prompting Turkey to recall its ambassador to Germany.

The turkish reactions to this are beyond silly.

There are about 1.5 million Turks living in Germany, more than anywhere else apart from Turkey. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has frequently been criticized for deliberately setting a political agenda of Turks living in Germany and provoking tensions.

Washington Post

So now we have Turkish people protesting on the street and the Turkish press (which is not free, as we all know) fueling the fire.


While at the same time sueing a German comedian for some harmless satire.

Merkel, in short, was doing her best to walk a political tightrope -- trying to satisfy Erdogan while at the same time seeking to assuage those voices which have accused her of sacrificing European values in the interest of securing a political deal with Turkey aimed at reducing the number of refugees coming to Europe.

Ironically, it was a tightrope not unlike the one Böhmermann was trying to walk. His Erdogan poem was cleverly constructed. In the televised skit, he is talking with his sidekick Ralf Kabelka about the limits of what is allowed in Germany. Abusive criticism is not allowed, Kabelka says, whereupon Böhmermann -- to make it clear exactly what isn't allowed -- recites his poem about Erdogan. When the audience started applauding, Böhmermann prevented them from doing so.

The poem includes references to "goat #ing" and "oppressing minorities." It calls Erdogan "dumb as a post, cowardly and uptight" and "perverse, lice-ridden and a zoophile." "Kicking Kurds, beating Christians all while watching child porno films." It goes on in that vein.

Spiegel
While Turkey itself is supporting IS

"The Russian Minister reminded his counterpart about Turkey’s involvement in the ISIS’ illegal trade in oil, which is transported via the area where the Russian plane was shot down, and about the terrorist infrastructure, arms and munitions depots and control centers that are also located there.

and killing the Kurds which are the only ones effectively fighting terrorism.

RT correspondent William Whiteman has also struggled to work out exactly what is happening in southeastern Turkey. Risking his life, he illegally traveled to the town of Cizre – the scene of one of the bloodiest episodes in the Turkish government’s campaign against the Kurds. The town near the Turkish-Syrian border was besieged for several months with tanks and heavy artillery.

So excuse me for saying this, directed to Erdogan:
Shut the # up you retarded goat #er! The planet would be better off without a dumb narcisstic asshole like you!
Turkey was once the most modern islamic country and thanks to you narrow minded hate filled #head it's developing backwards.

Oh, I'd go a lot further myself. Erdogan's been an embarrassment for Turkey from the start. His presidential palace never seems to be big enough for him.

And mad Merkal wants to invite them to the EU.....

What annoys me the most is Merkel is still playing nice!? I mean wtf?!
I would immediately end all cooperations, deport all Turks which are not willing to accept German citizenship (would make room for the refugees) and start calling him what he is, a dictator in the making, supporter of terrorists and enemy of the free world.
