If he gets any western support it will be embarrassing.

This will be interesting to follow in all honesty. They are a NATO member state so they continue to get support from the west in economical and military terms as well. But lately Erdogan seems to cozy up with the Kremlin and that is something that seems to be a red line for the EU/US. The sittuation might degenerate in matter of months intot total chaos.

In holland there soon to be a election (right?), and they told a them they didnt want turkish election rally's / events, in holland at this time.

If a turkist politican wants to do a rally for votes or whatever, they can do it back in turkey (their own country, where they are running for election).

I mean that seems fair enough to me.

 

Imagine if a russian politican started doing rallies in the USA, for a upcomeing election in russia.

Because there where a few russians in the US allowed to vote.

Imagine that same person, did it right ontop of a US election.

Its a crazy situation... how it come to be like this I dont know.

What where they thinking? and suddenly "everyone is a nazi".

funnily enough it's illegal for turkish representatives to hold rallys outside of turkey according to a turkish law from 2008 !

and actually the NL would have allowed a rally to happen, but the venue canceled because it was booked under a false pretense and a political rally would have a much higher risk of the venue seeing damages - then turkey called their supporters for an unannounced rally in front of the embassy which the NL forbade

Unfortunately it looks like it'll be a Saudi Arabia and Pakistan situation, the US will still support them even with their Islamization.

I still think that that military coup was instigated by him to gain more power. And now we finally see the end goal.

I hold the same belief. Obviously have no proof, but it wouldn't be the first time in history something like this was done.

Is war in the Middle East expected to last for several more decades?

Often been said the World began and will end there.



So freedom of speech is dead in Europe, Pegida can hold rallies but a Nato ally has its diplomats blocked from entering the country. Netherlands and the other states did something very wrong and inexcusable.
