Erdogan goes off the rails frequently, it's his trademark. His remarks on sensitive Greek topics should have been anticipated by his hosts. Of more interest to the Greeks ought to be how Erdogan will demagogue Trumps Jerusalem move. Demagogue it for political gain is certain with Erdogan.
Maybe Erdogan should call for an Islamic summit on this too.
He is the reason we had no Turkey at our table for Thanksgiving..he is all stuffing and not much else
LOL
I like stuffing.
Erdogan is
ethnically a Turk
genetically a Greek
and
Mentally stupid
I think Erdogan should go Solomon on himself and cut out his Greek genes and leave them in Greece after he meets with the Greek PM.
