From news article:
On Sunday, I wrote a
post
which mentioned that the
Economist
, usually a strong supporter of Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (better known by its Turkish acronym, the AKP) had endorsed the secular opposition. “The best way for Turks to promote democracy would be to vote against the ruling party,” the
Economist
’s editors declared, citing the Islamist Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s authoritarian streak and his crackdown on the press.
In a reaction which would be a parody if it weren’t sadly true, Erdoğan has blown a gasket. It’s not just the
Economist
’s fault, the prime minister explained. In reality, it’s a plot by world Jewry. “These calls have been well-timed, because they show that we are on the right track. They cannot make any decisions concerning Turkey,” Erdoğan
said
. “This international media, as they are supported by Israel, would not be happy with the continuation of the AKP government,” he
continued
.
