Turkey to banish 10 Western ambassadors, Erdogan says

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday, October 23, he had ordered the foreign ministry to declare 10 ambassadors from Western countries"persona non grata" for calling for the release of philanthropist Osman Kavala.

The US, German, and French embassies and the White House and US State Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. "We will continue to call on Turkey to comply with democratic standards and the rule of law to which the country committed itself under the European Human Rights Convention," Maaseide said.

Erdogan was cited on Thursday, October 21, as saying the ambassadors in question would not release"bandits, murderers, and terrorists" in their own countries.

That's the definition of a dictator not the definition that you've been pushing for a long time because of political differences.
