WHY IS RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL LEADERS IN TURKISH HISTORY TURNING INTO THE WEAKEST LEADER?
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the articulate and well-educated banker turned President of Turkey and arguably, one of the most powerful political leaders in Turkish history is fast turning into one of its weakest leaders ever.
Reason?
Recep Tayyip Erdogan has unfortunately fallen into the vicious trap of bad political advisers who are egging him on to mindless military misadventures against Kurds residing near its borders and northern Syria. All this in the name of securing a safe zone in order to rehabilitate millions of Syrian refugees present in Turkey back in northern Syria and fighting the supposedly Kurd-terrorists supposed to be disturbing Turkey’s internal peace.
Kurds are supported by Syria, Russia and Iran, mainly. The USA does not have a clear stand on Turkey’s aggression against Kurds.
Already scores of precious maanav lives have been lost in current Turkish military aggression against Kurds. The war may widen turning into next World War if it is not tackled quickly. It needs to be stopped immediately.
Erdogan could have easily ensured permanent peace by working out a permanent peace deal with Kurds by taking onboard countries such as Russia, Iran, Syria, USA and other members of the United Nations Organization. This is so simple to do. It is surprising why he has overlooked such a simple practical solution!
He could have deftly defused situation by letting Kurds have their own independent nation-State. Once an independent nation-State were created, Kurds would cease to be a headache to peace in the region including Turkey itself. In addition, by doing so, he would promote bonding and intimate harmony between Turkish and Kurdish people, leading eventually to relatively permanent peace in the region.
