Why Turkey Strongman Erdoğan’s Kashmir Statement Must be Taken with a Bagful of Salt
News 18Turkey’s strongman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan once again raised Kashmir this week, for the nth time. Normally, a world leader talking about Kashmir would raise some hackles but this time the MEA didn’t bother to even respond, because it turns out nobody takes incoherent, friendless Erdoğan seriously anymore—except his equally incoherent and ignored Pakistani counterpart. Behind Turkey’s Attempt to Join EU What we need to understand about Erdoğan is that he is a very smart politician, to the point of being too smart by half, and an entirely incompetent economist. Consequently, Erdoğan used the EU membership bid simply to keep the military in its barracks while he consolidated power and once the EU formally rejected Turkey’s membership Erdoğan was strong enough to purge the military and render it toothless, something no Turkish leader before him had managed to achieve.
