      1. He is a million times better than Trump and has far far less blood on his hands than either Trump or Biden
      2. Turkiye isn’t engaging in economic warfare against Europe
      3. Turkiye welcomed Syrian and Ukrainian refugees escaping the wars
      4. Turkiye supports Ukraine in various ways such as drones

      Turkiye is a Muslim country as well as a European country, so it is in an odd place to be but also bridges both worlds.

      Edit: I know about the Kurds, I am from the Middle East. Turkiye had a history of racist nationalism that Erdogan actually campaigns against. Turkiye and Erdogan are not angels or innocent but are a far lesser evil than many others.

        I’m sorry but all the campaigning in the world doesn’t matter when he can’t stop the oppression of Kurds as the leader of his country.

        He literally blocks all new NATO membership and you claim he has no blood on his hands?

        Edit: and I assume he has finally taken action towards earthquake building safety? Or is that still just god’s will?

        Edit2: funny that you have time to talk to me about cookie flavors but pretend these questions don’t exist

        You didn’t mention the Kurds. Turkey’s action towards Kurds is one of the main reasons to dislike Turkey.

        also, turkiye seems to be on the verge of working things out with ocalan and the kurds, which is impressive
