The Yeni Söz claimed this already in August but now has found "evidence" for their claim in a statement of Hungarian PM Bojko Borissow: "Turkey is Europe´s largest neighbor, a huge country, and has the largest army of Europe, that is well trained and equipped."
That´s not exactly evidence but we cannot verify HuffPo´s claim anyway. The more interesting question is:
What´s behind Yeni Söz`s claim?
Fact is: Turkey has a large military, the most powerful behind Russia in the region. Weak EU armies cannot defeat Turkey.
But there is another point the newspaper highlights in the graph shown above: Would you fight for your country?
Do you see the red dot in the middle? The graph shows: Down to zero percent of boy loving German fatsos would fight for their country.
Another point, whether mentioned by Yeni Söz or not, is that in Europe there are many Turks. Support for Erdogan´s constitutional reform was larger in Germany than in Turkey. If Turkey calls millions of Turks in Germany, Albania and elsewhere to the arms, which of the ramshackle European "armies" could stop them?
Three days may be overplayed but in case of war, the EU is out of business sooner or later.
