Reader comment on item: Turkey's Erdoğan Gambles and Loses
Submitted by Vijay (Belgium), Mar 18, 2016 at 18:39
Erdogan has undone 70 years of Ataturk's legacy in the last 15 years .Turkey of Erdogan has nothing in common with EU or NATO. Now Turkey looks more like Pakistan , with it's deep state hobnobbing with ISIS and jihadi groups . Like Pakistan it blackmails it's so-called allies and generally eats off their hands. EU and the USA must put aside all PC attitudes and call Erdogan's bluff
