Go ahead and prove that Turkey supports ISIS. Entertain us.
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was stripped and banned from office after being sentenced to 10 months in prison for inciting
religious intolerance in 1998
As President, Erdoğan has been a strong advocate of an
executive presidency that would boost his own powers and has maintained an active influence over political affairs despite the symbolic nature of his office
Erdoğan's government has since come under fire for
electoral fraud, demeaning the
Constitution, alleged
human rights violations and
crackdown on press and social media, having blocked access to Twitter, Facebook and YouTube on numerous occasions.
[15][16][17][18] Opposition journalists and politicians have thus branded him a
"dictator".

It’s impossible to beat ISIS so long as Erdoğan remains in power in Turkey
Turkey’s authoritarian president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, is in Washington to participate in a conference regarding strategies to defeat the Islamic State militant group (ISIS). That’s like inviting Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to a conference about fighting anti-Semitism.
Simply put, Erdoğan has transformed Turkey into “
Pakistan on the Mediterranean.” Diplomats might, out of politeness, publicly accept the fiction that Erdoğan wants to fight violent extremism, but after years of denial, there is broad consensus that Turkey does more to undercut that fight than advance it.
Kudos to President Barack Obama for refusing to meet Erdoğan this time around,
after his earlier endorsement of the Turkish leader
Our President is slow, just like Clinton...
