Erdogan once again proves he's a threat to world peace - Israel National News

In May 2017, activists in Germany projected a huge picture of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan dressed as Hitler on the walls of the Turkish embassy in Berlin.

The activists also projected the words "He's Back" on the walls of the embassy and said they were protesting the imprisonment of two Turkish journalists who had published articles critical of Erdogan. "We as Germans know what happens in the early stages of a dictatorship. The similarities between the early Nazi regime and Erdogan's Turkey right now are frightening," Oliver Bienkowski, one of the activists, told The Independent while adding the Turkish leader "must be stopped before it is too late."

The incident came in mind again watching Erdogan's latest bellicose actions toward the Kurds in Syria, his renewed vicious rhetoric toward Israel, as well as the publication of a new study documenting the massive crackdown on press freedom in Turkey.
