Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Sunday urged President Barack Obama to join forces in the fight against terrorism without distinguishing between groups and individuals, who threaten world’s stability and safety of citizens.
“There is no good terrorist or bad terrorist; every kind of terrorism is bad,” Erdoğan said after the meeting with Obama on the sidelines of the G20 summit in China, according to a report by state-run Anadolu news agency.
This comes from the Islamist leader whose aid for Hamas led to the tensions with Israel. Whose backing for Islamic Jihadists in Syria led to the supposed coup.
Erdogan likes terrorists. He just chooses to define Kurds as terrorists while denying that any of the Islamic terrorists he supports are terrorists. This is interestingly selective, but not particularly meaningful. The only thing it does is showcase his hypocrisy and that of the media for not exposing his double standards and his support for terrorism.
Erdogan believes that murdering Jews isn't terrorism, but opposing Turkish hegemony is.
