A little reminder for my Facebook friends who live outside of Turkey. Turkey will have its first direct presidential elections next month and Erdogan, the autocratic islamist Prime Minister, the co-president of USraels Greater Middle East Project (in his own words) is the number one candidate of this election. For that reason, like many times before, the Palestinian rights has become a usefull political material to impress his conservative Muslim voter base. In March 2009 there was municipal elections which were crucial for Erdogan and his AKP, and guess what; the famous, staged One minute! event in Davos happened just 2 months before elections. In 2010 after Gaza flotilla raid in May there was a scheduled Turkish constitutional referendumm in September, which was extremely important for Erdogans agenda. But in fact his government has tight economic and military relations with Israel and NATO’s missile shield radar base in Kurecik, Turkey was installed in 2012 (just remember, Gaza flotilla raid was in May 2010) mainly to defend Israel. From the article below: “The Greater Middle East Project was an initiative launched with a view to [bringing] peace to the Middle East as well as promoting its economic development, civil rights, women’s rights and freedom of education and carrying these rights further. Turkey was given a role in this project and we have accepted .” Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan received Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) ‘Courage to Care’ award from ADL’s director Abraham Foxman at the ADL headquarters, New York, 10 June 2005. Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan received the ‘Profiles in Courage’ award from American Jewish Congress (AJC) President Jack Rosen, HSBC headquarters in New York, 26 January 2004 (and he didnt return it until now) globalresearch.ca/a-zionist-in-disguise-turkeys-prime-minister-erdogans-phony-anti-israel-rhetoric/5313589.
