    BREAKING: Turkish President Erdogan says will go to European Court of Human Rights over Netherlands Dispute.

    Not exactly sure how he will do this as it lays within the realm of each nation state on how they handle diplomatic personnel.....

    Turkey suspends high-level diplomatic ties with Dutch, mulls EU immigration deal review

    "Ankara’s agreement with the EU to help hold back a flood of refugees has ended, as far as Turkey is concerned"
    http://www.rferl.org/a/turkey-nether...28367437.html#

    BUT WAIT...Erdogan gets 3B Euros annually for this....and his economy is actually tanking so he cuts off his nose to spite himself?????

    Interestingly enough...Erdogan is driving an interesting conversation within EU countries with high Turkish populations such as Germany...Denmark..Holland etc...

    They have actually granted long term Turkish residents the right to a second passport of their country where they reside thus many Turks can claim two passports thus related EU benefits and visa free travel...

    Now the discussion begins...if one who holds a Dutch passport now answered to Erdogan and riots inside Holland does he need his Dutch passport?

    Erdogan is total unaware of his impact on his fellow Turks residing outside of Turkey....nor do they realize that by openly supporting Erdogan they also incur certain risks....

    Turkey seeks Russian loan to buy #S400 systems

    WHY because Turkey is just about broke.....due largely to Erdogan's actions since the coup and his bashing EU....he cannot hope now from any EU assistance until his tone changes and he will not change that tone thus no money will flow....

    Rotterdam Mayor Aboutaleb says he was taken aback by Turkish minister bringing personal guards and it wasn't clear if the 12 men were armed.

    Situation at Turkish consulate Rotterdam was "so intense, complex" mayor gave police permission to shoot if needed

    So exactly why did a Turkish Family minister travelling supposedly from German travel with armed guards.....
