    IMPORTANT NOTE
    Trump call delights #Erdogan supporters as legitimising victory, dismays critics after OSCE report&anti-west tirade.

    EU/US ARE DEFINITELY NOT on same page

    REMEMBER this is the same Donald that first stated NATO/EU are obsolete and then praised them recently. AND that he was going to work within NATO.....BUT WAIT only if they paid the US money and fought IS/AQ....which they have been doing since 2003?????

    Default One vote, one man, one Sultan

    The Soufan Group's brief ends with:
    The modern Turkish model—previously widely lauded for its gradual move towards liberal democracy—now appears to have been supplanted by a model that increasingly resembles a modern-day incarnation of a sultan-style government.

    Now will Turkey decide to loosen controls on "refugees" not leaving and encourage them to depart for the EU? I am sure a few will remind him many are fellow Muslims.
