APOLOGY SEEKING ERDOGAN AND INDULGENT WORLD

It turns out that Recep Tayyip Erdogan adores demanding an apology.
Some trivial studies reveal that the Turkish leader demands apologies
from foreign countries and their leaders, too.
In Google search engine Erdogan's name has been referred to about 17
million times, yet 1.7 million of which brings the following result -
"Erdogan wants an apology". Agree, that a head of a country which is
involved in G20, owns the second largest army in NATO, is long for a
dominant position in the region and a leader's role in Turkish and
Islamic world, has declared a strategy titled "zero problems with
neighbors" and yet wastes 10% of his activities on demanding apology
from the surrounding, needs a different specialist to examine him.
Yet, leave this to the psychologists and return to politics.
To diagnose the situation answers, based on some examples, should be
found - who, why, what and from whom? So the answer to the first and
the last questions is obvious - Erdogan demands an apology. To find
answers for the rest of stuff internet again hurries to help. The
Turkish PM, according to internet studies, has demanded an apology
from at least three countries.
The fire over the third case is still burning. Turkish PM demands
an apology from the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan, who,
in a meeting with youth in Tsaghkadzor, called the Western Armenia
...Western Armenia. This episode, surely, is worthless to concentrate
on. First, the case is new and fresh, and still absorbs assessments and
commentaries. Second, it concerns to Armenians, and the emotions may
be hindering to give impartial assessments. We would only notice that
Erdogan's absurd demand has been widely covered by the international
media and mainly ironically.
Anyway, let's review Erdogan's demands for apology to others. The
demands addressed to Israel are surely worth to cover. They appeared
in the middles of the previous year in the context of Mavi Marmara.
Though the investigation over the incident isn't yet terminated,
Turkish PM has been demanding apology from Israel and making threats
in their address. It was a couple of days ago when Erdogan threatened
to apply "Plan B". So, we aren't sure we know what it is. Instead,
it's obvious that Erdogan's tactics isn't justified. Israel hasn't
apologies and doesn't plan to - Israelis have massively declines any
vacation in Turkey damaging Turkish tourism industry and finally,
Turkey has understood they should quit their initiative of a second
"Ship of Peace".
And the second demand for apology is addressed to Germany and its
Chancellor Angela Merkel. Turkish PM was angry in January when Mrs.
Merkel arrived in Cyprus and emphasized that the North of the island
is invaded by Turkey and that Ankara doesn't make efforts to normalize
the conflict. In this respect, Erdogan hasn't only demanded apology
from Mrs. Merkel but warned to restore her historical knowledge.
But, Mrs. Merkel didn't apology for her statement, and yet has
paid a visit to Turkey, where she expressed concerns over Turkish
negotiations with the EU and Ankara's incapability to put forth
necessary efforts. German Chancellor didn't say anything about Cyprus
and her viewpoint over history.
These two episodes highlight Recep Tayyip Erdogan's image as a
very emotional statesman, who has partial approach towards facts,
demonstrates blast of anger towards absolute truth and performs
inadequate response. Turkish PM made some other "acts of heroism"
during the recent two years. He threatened to deport Armenians from
Turkey in 2009 and 2010.
In 2009 when the international court declared sanctions against
Sudanese President al Bashir, caliming he committed genocide against
his people, Erdogan declared that "a Muslim cannot commit genocide"
and invited him to Turkey. In response to this, the world focused on
the massacre of Christian people committed under Ottoman dynasty.
Those documents claimed that more than 2 million Armenians and 300
thousand Greeks were killed in Turkey from 1900-1923 on the basis of
national belonging.
World is still indulgent and doesn't demand any apology from Ankara...
