Don't forget that Erdogan also tried to intervene in Ukraine by supplying drones, advisors and other assistance.

The region would be so much better off without him as President.

Because Democraps are the enemies of America, it stands to reason that they unite with other enemies of America.

That really explains most of the Libtard Foreign Policy, and Warmaking.

Eerie images show 'ghost town' of abandoned fairytale castles

It’s every Disney-lovers dream to live in a fairytale castle - but one town in Turkey appears to have trouble finding residents, leaving hundreds of picturesque mansions sitting abandoned and empty for years.
The Burj al Babas project, set among hills about 200 km east of Istanbul, was conceived as a luxury housing development with row upon row of identical cream-coloured homes, shaped like chateaus with grey turrets.
It was designed to be a luxury resort town with more than 700 mini-castles at the base of Turkey’s northwestern mountains.

Turkey in Kurdistan: The Window of Opportunity to Prevent Another Genocide is Closing.

President Joe Biden formally recognized the Armenian Genocide, making this the first U.S. administration to do so.

The Gülen movement is a former ally of the Turkish Justice and Development Party (AKP). When the AKP came to power in 2002 the two formed, despite their differences, a tactical alliance against military tutelage and the Turkish secular elite. A U.S.-based umbrella foundation which is affiliated with the movement is the Alliance for Shared Values. The movement has attracted supporters and drawn the attention of critics in Turkey, Central Asia, and other parts of the world. It is active in education and operates private schools and universities in over 180 countries. It has initiated forums for interfaith dialogue. It has substantial investments in media, finance, and for-profit health clinics. Gülen was named as one of TIME magazine's World's 100 Most Influential People in 2013.

Fethullah Gülen

' is a Turkish Islamic scholar, preacher, and a one-time opinion leader (as de facto leader of the Gülen movement: an international, faith-based civil society organization once aligned with Turkey's government, but since then outlawed as an alleged "armed terrorist group")'

US Adds Turkey to List of Countries Who Use Child Soldiers

Pakistan, Turkey added to child soldier recruiter list
https://www.dawn.com/news/1632676/us-adds-pakistan-turkey-to-child-sol
dier-recruiter-list


The United States on Thursday added Turkey to a list of countries that are implicated in the use of child soldiers over the past year, placing a NATO ally for the first time in such a list, in a move that is likely to further complicate the already fraught ties between Ankara and Washington.

The U.S. State Department determined in its 2021 Trafficking in Persons that Turkey was providing "Tangible support" to the Sultan Murad division in Syria, a faction of Syrian opposition that Ankara has long, supported and a group that Washington said recruited and used child soldiers.

"As a respected regional leader and member of NATO, Turkey has the opportunity to address this issue - the recruitment and use of child soldiers in Syria and Libya," she said.

The current Chechen leader - Ramzan Kadyrov- isn't a jihadist. I have no idea WTF your article is talking about, bc the link that you provided doesn't have any related article. However, it IS full of bullshit, which is what I would expect of western press.

No wonder you're confused!
