Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Erdogan to
West: 'Mind your own business'
On one point,
he may be on the right course. Ever since the failed coup attempt threatened
his fate, Turkey’s president Erdogan has been cracking down on those who were
involved in the attempt and also anyone who might have supported or associated
with them in order to prevent such unlawful incident from recurring. But it
seems the crackdown has gone a little too far. The number of people arrested,
detained or sacked went over 60,000.
World media
and leaders have expressed their concerns about this radical purge as a way to realize
authoritarian regime. And such criticism is of course unacceptable to Erdogan
who seems to have determined to secure his elected seat and to protect democracy.
The world no
longer need domestic conflict or political instability in the Middle East, and
Turkey sits in a very pivotal place between the East and West, bordering Greece/EU,
Syria, Iraq, Iran and Russia.
Enjoy reading
and thinking what could happen if Turkey becomes unfriendly with its allies.
