Bahahaha
Nothing says control like playing Pokemon Go.
Merkel is going to enjoy this conversation.
Excellent, should also be hopeful for the Kurds ("language").
After the last month, we don't seem to be in the worst timeline completely.

OMFG please be true.
Erdogan's current office that he was elected to is a historically neutral ceremonial role akin to the Queen of England but he has consistently exceeded the bounds of that office to consolidate power and undermine democracy. I don't know what to think about this Coup yet, but I don't believe it is as black and white as you're making it out to be

if people wanna get into a discussion on democracy, fine
Democratically electing a government does not mean that they get a blank check do whatever they want to do, the judicial branch and the legislative branch are suppose to act as check-n-balance
Edrogan erroded to courts and did not respect democracy.
Did he win elections? yeah but that doesn't necessary l mean he was free to govern like a tyrant
the Army was the last bastion of checks-n-ballance. They had enough of him

Would actually be a fairly good idea for Merkel to say yes, just to keep an eye on things.
Lol, maybe Jan Böhmermann will give him a place to stay.

They just have to understand Erdogan did not have the best interest of the people in mind.
Add Erdogan to the list:
Lmao
Does that look like a man who's still in power?
If you squint you can see the Pokeball.

Why does this not surprise me? lol
His avatar is the flag of an ultra-right group that carries out torture and summary executions. It seized a province in Ukraine with the help of Russian soldiers, so it's more like he hates everyone else. Also tag quote.

Didn't know Germany had lots of goat farms.
If true that would be even more ironic than BoJo becoming minister of foreign affairs.
I expected Turkmenistan.

The idea that the military has a constitutional mandate to take over the government is fascinating. How hasn't it been abused?
Wait is this real life?

Germany should think twice about offering this fuck asylum.
