Erdogan's new a thousand room palace. ( Archived) (103)

"...Sprawling over 91,000 square meters (22.5 acres) inside the Ataturk Forest Farm in west Ankara, the 1,000-room building, inspired by Seljuk architecture, is equipped with extensive security systems: bunkers, tunnels against chemical attacks, high-tech defenses against cyberattacks and espionage, “deaf rooms” with no electrical outlets to fend off bugging attempts and an underground “war room.” A three-floor residence, absent in the original plan, was added to the complex for the Erdogan family.

Interesting facts Ld.I didnt know those facts.If those facts are correct then it means money is not wasted.Thats how powerful states presidental palace should be.Its about national security.

Is it fair Leo?
The top politicians make the mess and then they will be protected in those bunkers. What about mortals like you?

I dont see anything wrong what he said long time ago.Other countries leaders sent much more offending messages toward others since that time. No one is perfect and those 2 sentences said buy him doesnt mean he is going to conqure the world or build a caliphate.As i said its a myth and propaganda created by west around him.

Tomcat singing,
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountain green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

If we are talking about the mess in the world today then Erdogan is the last leader in the world has anything to do with.
Its funny that people dont put so much blame on the leaders that invade others terretories,starting wars and killings of innocent people,but focusing on person that havent done any of the above.

IN YALAZA, a remote mountain village near the town of Lice, the seeds of a “free Kurdistan” are being sown. A “popular council” vetted by rebels of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) will soon launch Turkey’s first school offering education in the Kurdish language. Last summer Yalaza’s fields were carpeted with cannabis. They are now filled with tobacco and other legal crops after the PKK outlawed the booming drug trade. “Yalaza will be a model commune for all of Kurdistan, the state cannot set foot here,” says Serdar Celik, a villager who seems to be in charge.

On the main road from Lice to Diyarbakir, the PKK’s star-emblazoned crimson flag is hoisted less than a kilometre away from a Turkish army checkpoint. It marks the entrance to several makeshift camps housing Kurdish activists, mostly women. Fehime Ete, who has a husband and two sons in jail on charges of separatism and three other sons fighting for the PKK, is typical. All are bent on preventing the construction of two army bases, which they say demonstrate that the ruling Justice and Development (AK) party is not sincere in its latest peace talks with the imprisoned PKK leader, Abdullah Ocalan.


He better watch out or miss Muffet will consume him along with the whey

There is a mess in every place Leo even here and every leader has his/her dark side, their wrong doing. If you can not see any thing wrong with Turkey’s President you might be biased yet others will ensure he has done only wrong and that is from narrow minded people.

I'm not a fan of Erdogan, but other politicians have their bunkers as well. In the US, they are only elected for a maximum of 8 years, so any glory they get is short lived. Elsewhere, politicians in power get to enjoy the lavish lifestyle a lot longer. I was in Ankara and actually know where this is (haven't seen it in this glory though).

Erdogan's politics.. well, he's in bed with us actually but he made it clear that he'd rather be allied with the middle east. That's okay, but that also means that he shouldn't join the EU. Can't have it both ways even though he tries hard to be the east-west power broker.
