Erdogan became jest for world media

14:11 / 03/20/2010 Erdogan’s words that media misinterpreted his
statement on deportation of 100.000 illegal Armenians from the
country, aroused sarcasm of foreign media.

German Der Tagesspiegel refers to CNNTurk’s ironic quotation: `The
guilty are found ` it’s media representatives,’ Erdogan said. The
paper then recalls that this is not the first indignation of public
entailed by Turkish Premier’s words, who is deprived of elementary
diplomatic etiquette. Nonetheless, the publication outlines that his
threats on deportation of Armenians might come true, as it will kill
Ankara’s efforts in relations’ normalization with Armenia and incite
the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide dramatically.

`Erdogan became known for his ignorance of diplomatic terms. From time
to time he allows himself statements lacking any tact. Turkey is used
to his &`high’ word-style and some politicians return him accordingly.
However, his &`style’ can harm Turkey’s foreign policy dramatically,’
the source reads recalling Erdogan’s impudent words to Israel,
groundless attacks at Germany concerning the Turkish emigrants, silly
accusations against China on committing genocide against Uigurs.
