Turkey’s Erdogan Praises “Hitler’s Germany” As Example Of Effective Government<\/a><\/h3>\n

Back in August, Nationalist opposition leader Devlet Bahceli\u00a0took to Twitter to call<\/a>\u00a0Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a\u00a0\u201clocally produced Hitler, Stalin or Qaddafi\u201d<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

That comment came as Erdogan was busy undermining the coalition building process on the way to calling for new elections. “Accept it or not, Turkey\u2019s governmental system has become one of an executive presidency,” Erdogan said, the day before the tweet shown above was published. “What should be done now is to finalize the legal framework of this de facto situation with a new constitution,\u201d Erdogan continued.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

For anyone in need of a refresher, Erdogan\u2019s plans to make Turkey an executive presidency were derailed in June when the pro-Kurdish HDP put on a better show at the ballot box than expected, robbing AKP of its absolute majority in parliament.<\/p>\n

The President effectively nullified the election results by calling for a November redo ballot.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s now saying ‘I won\u2019t listen to the laws or constitution.’ This is a very dangerous period,” warned Kemal Kilicdaroglu, leader of the Main Republican People\u2019s Party. “He wants to give a legal foundation to this coup he\u2019s carried out.<\/strong>\u00a0Those who carry out coups always do this: First they carry out the coup, then they give it a legal foundation.\u2019”<\/p>\n

Fast forward four months and we\u2019ve seen Erdogan shoot down a Russian warplane and\u00a0intensify a crackdown<\/a>\u00a0on the Kurds which many thought would dissipate once AKP reinstated its iron grip on politics in November.<\/p>\n

Now, as Erdogan pushes to officially transform the Turkish presidency from a figurehead role (obviously Erdogan is anything but a figurehead, but this is about enshrining powers he shouldn\u2019t have into law) into a chief executive position, the President is appealing to history.<\/p>\n
