Turkey’s recent brawl at the U.N fits in perfectly with Recep Erdogan’s new “street credit” foreign policy. To recap, bodyguards of the Turkish prime minister got rough with UN security after it sent back the entourage, which tried to barge forward in the line in order to be present as Abbas’s general assembly speech.
Recently Erdogan and his entourage have not only been putting its physical power into play but also its verbal power. Erdogan has been going on numerous rants against Israel, heating up matters in the Middle East.
The direct outcome of Erdogan’s rants were seen in his latest visit to Egypt, where he was greeted in a rock star manner. Similar ecstatic crowds greeted the Turkish prime minister in Tunis the next stop on Erdogan’s “Arab Spring” tour (Egypt, Tunisia and Libya). The euphoria seems to have engulfed the media as well the Egyptian pundit Mohammed Amin suggested the Turkish government to “lend” out the troublemaker prime minister for a month. Frum Forum
Is this the same group that slaughtered the Armenians?
