The West should re-evaluate its self-proclaimed values of democracy, rights and freedoms in light of recent events in the US, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said.
“All of these developments make it imperative for the West to engage in sincere soul-searching about its values,” the president said. “If [double-standards] to justify flaws remain in place, this means the world will have reached a new crossroads.”At least five people died on Wednesday after pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building in protest over Congress certifying that Joe Biden won the presidential election.
Erdogan said recent events in Europe and the US put the limelight on the West's double standards on what it deems acceptable for itself versus what it deems acceptable in Turkey, which he said adopts the same measures implemented by the very countries accusing Ankara of restricting rights and freedoms.'Primitive forms of censorship'
Lol Erdogan should look himself in the mirror. Dear Turks, just because you guys think you are better and rulers of everyone doesn’t mean you can attack them abroad. Remember what happened in France? Very rude of you
True we should start by banning his twitter too :)
in Europe*, typo
The U.S. has not jailed half of its population while maintaining the other half in fear, poverty and hunger.
Thanks a lot, Donny.
Then we should switch to no election threshold and a parliamentary system. That'll show em.
