America used to be able to take the high road in calling out dictatorial actions like this one & the likes of those done by Putin & Orbán. Now these repressive dictators are our allies & our enemies are the leaders of countries like Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, Australia and the EU.

Is Erdogan pulling a Putin vs Navalny?

Why did Erdogan get re-elected to begin with?

These authoritarian regimes have to go.

So in other words, another supposed leader goes rogue!! This is BS!

These are the type of guys FOTUS loves and are his friends. He wants to make himself King dictator also in America and remain in office forever like Putin

Gee sounds familiar

Of course he did. The threats were one of the reasons Kilicdaroglu resisted nominating him.

Revoking the well-earned diploma is bullshit, given that Erdogan's own diploma is fraudulent. The university that "issued" it didn't exist when he was graduated.

Take note, Americans. We're a few short steps from this form of "government," unless we collectively summon the will to stop them.

Expect to see the same thing happen in the US.

Trump dreams of being able to do this.

These kind of people are the opposite of strong men. They are weak and they know it, so they use every subterfuge available to stay in power.

Erdogan is an evil thug.

Erdogan is a blight on Turkey, a country that is purported to be a "democracy" but has never allowed a liberal to rule (even after winning an election) for more than a few months before initiating a coup to oust them.

If you think Turkey is a democracy you are wrong.

Hate E not only because shit he does, but also because he could have been one of greatest statesman of 21st century, if he didn´t go mental over losing constitutional majority in that one election.

Trump is furiously scribbling down notes.

Erdogan is following Putin’s tactic. Jail or kill and stay as president forever. Dictator 101
