Turkey's President Erdogan cites 'Hitler's Germany' as example of an effective form of government

Mr Erdogan defends push for his own position as president to be strengthened

Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has defended his push for a presidential system of government by citing "Hitler's Germany" as an historic example.

The President has pushed ahead with efforts to increase the stature of his own position, despite fears it would split the country's seat of power in two.

Mr Erdoğan cut short a state visit to Saudi Arabia after the death of prominent pro-government political journalist Hasan Karakaya, and in a press conference on his return to Turkey was asked if he thought a presidential system would be possible while maintaining the unitary structure of the state.

Erdogan's office denies advocating Hitler-style rule

According to the T24 news portal, he replied: "Yes. There is nothing to say that you can't have a presidential system in a unitary state.

"There are already some examples in the world today, and also some from the past. You see it when you look at Hitler's Germany. Later you see the example again in various other counties."

In November, Mr Erdoğan's AKP party won a decisive victory in the Turkish parliamentary elections, cementing his grip on power.

Despite his position theoretically making him above the country's party politics, he clearly played a key role in AKP's success and state broadcasters gave little airtime to any of his opponents.

He has previously suggested Turkey already operates under a de facto presidential system, and said his constitutional reforms would only "finalise" the change.

A senior Turkish official said that Mr Erdogan had meant to highlight Nazi Germany as an example of how not to implement such a system. "There are good and poor examples of presidential systems and the important thing is to put checks and balances in place," the official told The Independent. "Nazi Germany, lacking proper institutional arrangements, was obviously one of the most disgraceful examples in history. That's his point."

Ha! That's his point? Even if he was trying his best to make that point, I can't see anybody but a spin doctor coming up with that interpretation.

Indeed, don’t know why it even amazed me.

Citing Hitler in a New Year resolution. How could that possible be received negative? With conflict to come this dictator would be more difficult to portray by the MSM as the good-guy. He is truly setting himself up as the Empire’s mad dog. Useful for the PTB I suppose. Not that useful for public opinion.

With psychopaths like this setting lose on Russia it can only turn out favorable for worldwide public support for Putin. Many Officials in my country where the first to cry out support for the murder and shooting down of the SU.24

Let see how long they can hold Erdogan hand up. It will only expose their discord of reality and their psychopathy further.
