Of course, Obama’s “favorite,” “most trusted” ally, blamed ….. the Jews. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan lashed out at foreign media yesterday, accusing The New York Times of being represented by “Jewish capital,” according to AFP.
Erdogan accused the NY Times of campaigning against Turkey’s leader since the final days of the Ottoman Empire, and accused “Jewish capital” of being its patrons.
Infuriated by a “shameless” May 23 Times editorial that called him “increasingly hostile to truth-telling” and accused him of “brute manipulation of the political process” in the upcoming June 7 elections, Erdogan accused the paper of “overstepping the limits of freedom” and “meddling in Turkish politics.” Speaking in Istanbul on Monday, the Turkish leader called on the Times to “know its place,” and alleged that if the paper were to criticize U.S. leaders, those leaders “would immediately do what is necessary” – an ominous suggestion that spotlights his own way of dealing with journalists who say things he doesn’t like: he puts them in prison, often on charges of “terrorism.” (more here….)
“Turkish people deliver MAJOR ELECTORAL BLOW to Erdogan and his Islamist AKP party,” Right Scoop, June 7, 2015
For the first time in 13 years, the Turkish AKP, led by President Erdogan and Prime Minister Davutoglu, has lost its majority hold on the parliament. Just four years ago, the AKP won 326 seats in the parliament, well over the 276 needed for a majority. All they needed was four more seats and they could hold a public referendum on rewriting the constitution to make Erdogan a sultan-like figure to rule over Turkey.
But this election proved disastrous for Erdogan as the AKP lost around 68 seats, enough to remove their majority for the first time since 2002.The election results are below. As you can see the AKP won only 258 seats, 18 seats below what they needed to maintain their simple majority. The new HDP Kurdish party managed to get almost 13%, which is a big deal because they needed a minimum of 10% to get into the parliament.
So going forward the AKP must form a coalition with one of the opposition parties to govern, and everything I’ve read suggests that the MHP is the most likely to form a coalition with the AKP. The MHP is known as a part-religious (Islamist), part-nationalist party in Turkey.
If no coalition is formed, they will have to hold elections again.
The interesting thing about all this is how much Erdogan had riding on this election. He’s been strongly promoting the ‘New Turkey’ he is creating as well as his need for a new ‘presidential system’, almost daily. Indeed, he’s been heavily criticized for holding so many rallies for the AKP, as the president of Turkey is supposed to be a non-partisan figure.
Erdogan had really put himself out there and for his party to lose so many seats, it make me wonder how he will respond to this.
I must admit I was surprised to see Erdogan’s party lose so many seats, as I’ve been saying they would win ‘by hook or by crook’. But perhaps the loss was so big that even electoral fraud couldn’t have overcome the results.
So at the moment Erdogan’s ‘New Turkey’, his revived Ottoman Empire, has suffered a major defeat and stands in question. We’ll have to see how things go in the days that follow to see if Erdogan tries to fix this within the realm of democracy or if he decides to use more authoritarian tactics.

This story wasn’t Islamophobic enough to get the attention of MSNBC or CNN. We can only hope Turkey starts back on the right road to a more secular government.
The MHP is even more antisemitic and anti-Israel than Erdogan. It is has been described as ultra-nationalist and neo-fascist.
How well did they do in previous elections?
Erdogan has never won more than 50% of the vote. Turkey has a threshold of 10%. All parties that poll less than 10% receive no seats.
This was the reason for a remarkable result in 2002. Erdogan’s APK won 66% of the seats in parliament with 34% of the vote. There were 19 parties that polled less than 10%.
The MHP’s most recent results were 8.3% (2002), 14.27 (2007), 13.01% (2011) and 16.40% now.
Hatred of Israel is endemic in Turkey. People are now raving about the HDP Kurdish party. However, this is a statement from them during Protective Edge: “The attacks committed by the Israeli State against Palestinians are not very different from the attacks carried out by [the Bashar] al-Assad regime and components of the Free Syrian Army against civilians.
Therefore, we call on all relevant bodies, particularly the U.N., to take a clear position and impose sanctions [against Israel] if necessary.”
The MHP has historically favored good relations with Israel, their founder Alparslan Türkeş was an advocate of alliance with Israel.
Novemeber 2014: “Lutfu Turkkan, a Turkish MP for the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), introduced on Monday a bill to Turkey’s parliament which proposes recognizing Israel as “a terrorist state.”.
Turkish citizens have the least favorable opinion of Israel out of nine countries and groups, with 86 percent holding an unfavorable view of it, according to a Pew Research Center poll. Only 2 percent of Turks view Israel favorably. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/10/31/the-turkish-people-dont-look-favorably-upon-the-u-s-or-any-other-country-really
Well what did you expect? Their voters are nationalistic Turks who don’t like Israel or the US. It’s undeniable that they use such rhetoric to appeal to their voters, but the MHP has also argued for diplomatic normalization with Israel:
http://alexraufoglu.org/2014/09/28/can-turkey-and-israel-reconcile-their-differences/
The Turko-Israeli alliance/entente is a very complex, but it has existed much longer than the period of hostility under Erdogan.
I see lots of authoritarian tactics coming. They will steal the next election by hook or by crook.
Most probably, yes.
R U referring to the 2016 US Presidential election?
LOL well, that’s a given.
Not enough mouthhold on obama and obama’s daddy’s (Satan’s) hose.
It’s always the Jooooooooooos fault. Just read the Quran and you will ‘feel the love’.
Oh yeah!
Well, it would be the Jews’ fault, wouldn’t it? Just as it was
the fault of the subdued Christian Armenians when the
Ottoman Empire suffered huge losses at the hands of the
Russian army a century ago, and we all know what
happened there.
Wasn’t just the Christian Armenians, my ancestors,Maronite Christians fled from Lebanon in late 1800 rds. Either flee or die, or join the exodus to the greatest nation on the earth USA. Came through Ellis Island. We assimilated into the culture, spoke English and fought in four wars..Some paid the ultimate sacrifice. Love this Nation!
Bless you and your family. Thank God you’re not
still in a part of the world which has basically become
a hell hole.
Sadly, this part of the world is a bit teetery.
When a country that has enjoyed freedom of the West would you go back to having Sharia that would strip all your joys. One would have to be out of their minds to go back.
hes afraid of the jihadist & their popularity with the common man. All muslim nations are going thru this pull to the jihad. In the US its the same.
I saw some pictures of Kabul in the sixties and the women were dressed like western women, long hair , knee length skirts, heels, look at them now, progress just doesn’t happen in Islam, at the moment Islamic countries are in reverse gear, next stop 7th century.
Yes, I’ve seen a picture like that. In the one I saw, the young women were university students. Still, if all the wisdom in the universe is contained in a single, execrable book, who needs universities, anyway?
It’s a vicious circle, involving demographics and poor education. Although some Turks are very highly educated, they tend to be the secular ones and they tend to have small families, because a secular Turkish woman rightly doesn’t want to be just one of a number of wives. In the Anatolian heartland, levels of education are much lower and the influence of the mosque is correspondingly greater. A man can have four wives at any one time, but can divorce one at a moment’s notice and marry another. Over a lifetime, he can have a huge number of wives and father an enormous number of children. In such an environment, the women play a major part in preparing their daughters for the gruesome role in life that awaits them.
Currently, the greatest population growth is among the Kurds, who could even be the majority, within twenty years, but we can’t expect a newly re-named “Kurdistan” to be any more friendly or rational than Erdogan’s Turkey is. Saladin, after all, was a Kurd and muslims don’t come much more murderously fanatical than he was.
Kurds also played a huge part in the Armenian Genocide if I am correct. Now the victims themselves of Turkey.
Time for a coup in Turkey and throw this fool in jail where he belongs just like Morsi. If we could arrange for Bambi to be his cellmate that would be perfect.
Makes me smile
Wishful thinking!
Always the Jews? Correction, during WW 2, It was the Mufthi that aligned himself with Hitler and sent 20,000 RAT BASTARD MUSLIM JIHADISTS to fight with Hitlers SS and massacre the Jews . Horrific! Folks you are dealing with VERMIN. Goebells, Hitlers propaganda minister, made a film, showing all Jews to be nothing but rats. How does it feel now you RAT BASTARD VERMIN MUSLIM JIHADISTS? Folks have had enough. Extermination is headed your way, enjoy.
Muslim refugees do look like rats all running, and in towns breeding like rats.
From your lips…
This guy has had a record number of political dissidents and
journalists imprisoned, he’s aided and abetted the Islamic
State, domestic violence has surged in Turkey, and he talks
about conquering Jerusalem. Yet, the only leader ever
portrayed in a bad light is Vladimir Putin. Do the MSM EVER
EVER get it right?
A sign of “angry backlash” in Turkey against the government.
Erdogan will not take this sitting down. He’s an authoritarian tyrant who does not deserve to lead Turkey.
Although it’s hard to conceive of it, Turkey will be even worse with an AKP–MHP coalition. Whereas the AKP is Islamic, semi-fascist, and semi-genocidal, the MHP is slightly less Islamic but full-blown fascist and genocidal. It’s astonishing that a country like this is still a NATO member and still under consideration for EU membership.
still under consideration for EU membership.
It’ll never happen.
When they didn’t get what they wanted straight away, in true Muslim supremacist fashion the tantrums started.
Rather than being cowed, Europe took note and this had the reverse effect.
If they joined it would effectively open the gates to 80 million more Muslims into Europe and even the dunderheads at the EU could see disaster on the way.
Germans who form the core of the EU, have historically born the brunt of the gastwerker invasion and they can see too readily how these people will not toe the line.
Erdogan himself has issued edicts to German Turks not to integrate and to retain their Turkish culture.
Erdogan and Obama look very cozy together.
I didn’t think so. I think it’s very possible Erdogan dislikes BH0 intensely. I don’t notice any official state dinners being held for BH0 in Turkey.
they have a common lover- Musbrohood.
They’re BFF…
Both foul fowl?
It’s an expression the Millenials use….”Best Friends Forever”.
I live in an English town with a high percentage muslim population and I can tell you that muslims greet each other like this outside the mosque, looking at this picture and also of the greeting he gave the King of Saudi I am sure no matter what Obama says he is a muslim. Which must put a different perspective on all his actions.
Of course Obama’s muz. They consider him so because his alleged father was muz – that makes the son muz. Regardless, judged by his actions, he is very clearly muz — specifically shia. ALL his actions have favored muz – his support for the MB, Iran, the “apology tour,” his directing the conquest of the U.S. via the muz “resettlement program,” and on-and-on.
Mr Obama once said that Mr Erdogan was his best friend in the ME and that he received advice from Mr Erdogan on raising his daughters ….
We’l’l see how it all works out for Obama. He may have many, many regrets…
He may already be regretting ?
So they are not Christian or are being forced to follow the Muslim way so what the hell is Michelle Obama doing she needs to ditch and divorce him which she may well be waiting for when he is no longer president and then her daughters can be free of Islam. I was married to a Moroccan alcoholic so called muslim but as a Christian woman my two lads were kept secretly from him as Christian as they detest and would never accept Islam and where crosses under their clothes and never been indoctrinated or sent anywhere to learn Islam as I banned it told ex at time so religion didn’t get imposed but me and my boys secretly prayed and knew about Jesus as their true and only saviour even though they don’t go to a church and are grown up they suffered at school and had to pretend they were muslim so they could survive being at school overrun by muslims had to dodge questions why they never went to mosque school the lot and the evil way they behave even at that age towards non muslims was enough to convince them they never would be like them and do not even use their given names. But English ones and tell people who don’t know them their father is dead. My eldest suffered at his fathers mental cruelty as he has the bastards blood groups and was always poorly and weak and it has had a damaging effect on his mental health but I say to those who think sons of muzzies are the same coz they are not and never will be cos they asked Christ into their lives as children in secret and hate the way I was treated and women are treated in that cult even showing me videos about abuse and the true story of an Iranian woman wrongly accused of adultery so they stoned her to death made even her two sons and father take part because she refused a divorce so he could marry this young girl he wanted in another village her two daughters traumatised but her aunt got the story out to an American journalist who broke down and had to stay there til his car was fixed so you can see it all on video very bloody very nasty but true so my sons won’t ever have anything to do with or be around islam and we are desperate to move out of Bradford and are selling up soon to get away from them
May God bless you and your sons richly, Michelle!
Thankyou I’ve just had a spinal op to free a trapped nerve I’ve had for 5 years so it will take a little longer before we get to move on so all prayers for us great fully received for Gods glory Amen
You’re on my list!
They need to get a room…
In the past, I think there was another leader who sported a mustache much like Erdogan’s who enjoyed blaming the Jews. I just can’t seem to place the name though, but he subscribed to an ideology very similar to Erdogan’s.
Thanks for including the photo of O**** & Erdogan canoodling. Heart warming! Hope no one throws them off a tall building.
You do? I think you are just saying that…
Is that no or was it supposed it be some in the last sentence?
Assad tried to pull the Jew card and rally the people around it trying to avoid his misfortune. Erdogan now tries to do the same. I suspect that the NYT will blame the Jews as well.

I highly doubt that this will change the foul fowl’s disposition and behavior.
God is intervening. “Vox populi, vox Dei”. This article strengthens my hope. We may yet be given another chance!
So Erdogan concedes some of his countrymen look to the Israeli press for news and analysis….interesting.
Why don’t we talk about the ugly facts of Turkey post-Ataturk? Why don’t we talk about the Istanbul pogrom of the 1950’s (which also affected Jews)? Why don’t we talk about the invasion, annexation and ethnic cleansing of some 40% of Cyprus? Then there’s the now century long ongoing denial of the Armenian Genocide. What did Ataturk do to provide justice for the 2.5 million Armenian and Assyrian Christians slaughtered/enslaved by Turkish and Kurdish muslims — nothing at all.
A nicer thing couldn’t have happened to a nicer person!
Rhetoric like this is no surprise at all. Erdogan will probably reach a large percentage of the electorate with this since voters, almost all Muslims, have been taught from a very young age, non-Muslims and especially Jews are plotting against them. One of the themes in the Koran as I explain on my website is: “Allah is good for Muslims and without mercy to unbelievers. Unbelievers are guilty because they know better, but will not listen. The believers should stay far away from the infidels. ” Jews and ‘the people of the book’, Christians, are portrayed as evil, hostile and not to be trusted throughout the Koran.
Good news for the Jews, bad news for Erdoğan.
Proves there’s a god after all—and her name ain’t Allah 😉
THINGS ARE GOING BAD FOR THE BAMA
His most trusted ally Erdogen loses his majority in Parliament,
while his most hated ally Netanyahu won reelection in Israel. What’s next? A Republican victory in 2016 followed by an almost total reversal of Obamunism? We can only hope so.
Turkey will continue its revival of the old corrupt Ottoman Empire — instead of
more military invasions of Europe, this time they will sneak in the back door via NATO & the EU — the must be booted from NATO and never allowed entry into ther EU!
Egypt said NO
Turkey said NO
G7 said “NES”
Merkel knows what is cooking and takes time…
Russia takes notice but the undisclosed dream of merging in one europe is still floating.
The strategy in the Levant might get to a dead end without a sultanate/caliphate.
Black day for the major trojan horse in spite the usual thousands landed in Italy.

You want to know how it all ends wether you believe it or not? Hal Lindsey wrote a book in 1969 entitled The Late Great Plant Earth.
Moozlums are really poor losers, aren’t they? That’s why they need their asses kicked and humiliated like Israel does to them. Y’know, I’ll bet if the U.S. had given all those weapons and equipment that they gave to ISIS, by way of the Iraqui army, to Israel; there would be no ISIS today.
Obama needs to talk with his Imama.
If Mr. Erdogan had NOT blamed the Jews for his party’s defeat, that would have been news indeed.. I guess he regrets not to have asked Mr. Obama to give him a crash course in the various ways and means to rig an election instead of hugging him so lovingly. Or maybe he forgot the famous Stalin quote ” Voters decide nothing. People who count votes decide everything.”
Turkey has always been the trash bag of Anti Semitic doctrine, I think Turkey should be dumped from this civilization as the garbage that they really are.
He who blesses them, will be blessed.
He who curses them, will be cursed.
Erdogan, you moron, this saying is not new, but holds true for all time.
Keep blaming the Jews for your shortcomings.
LMFAO

The happy couple: U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama photographed with the president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Two lame ducks in love.

It seems a phony democracy raises its lying head as soon as some tyrant loses and wants to reposition himself for success. The Ottoman Turkish Caliphate was outlawed in 1924 by Mustafa Kemal. Erdogan’s attempt to reestablish it makes him one of 3 contenders for the Caliphate right behind ISIS, and Iran. All favor a sharia law caliphate. Since a caliph is a ruler of the entire word, it is strange that more caliph contender aren’t growing in the Muslim religion.
So far the only caliphate contender claiming to be elected democratically was the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. The MB and Obama claimed the MB to be democratically elected in Egypt. The standard phony democracy requires so little democratic performance that any tyrant finds it undefined enough to be easy to use. Democracy actually does have a definition as a form of government, but none of the phony democracy users will define the democracy they are using.

The people are waking up to the truth that they have been tricked and lied to and forced to become his slaves not people and not even true muslims as many are questioning their roots following the enforcement to convert to Islam or die when the Turkish army invaded, raped/murdered their way across the land which created the biggest amount of refugees in the hundred of thousands fleeing for their lives and now the people are waking up and looking back to their former roots and discovering the truth of who they previously were and many people there are converting back to Christianity and I say amen hallelujah to that and why else does a president of Islamic madness blame the Jews as they were t the ones voting in the country typical of him so very the devil s worshiper has had his arse kicked
Well some sanity in Turkey?// How long will it last and what effect will it have ? Very little IMO in answer to both
