[h=2]The £43m-a-year President, his 'shopaholic' wife and their £2,000 per roll silk bathroom wallpaper: Inside Turkey tyrant's £500million palace... so dripping in gold 'it would have made Saddam blush'[/h]
She claims to lead a 'humble and modest' life in the kitchen fermenting apple peel to make vinegar, but the lavish spending of Turkey dictator Recep Erdogan's wife is well known. Emine Erdogan's jet-set lifestyle is a whirlwind of one shopping trip after another where her particular passions are designer clothes and expensive antiques. According to Forbes magazine her husband, 62 with his wife (below right inset) topped the list of the highest paid political figure with his earnings put at £43.2million. Meanwhile as a quarter of Turkey's people live in extreme poverty and two million on just £3-a-day, the mother-of-four once shut an entire shopping centre in Brussels for one of her sprees and splurged £37,000 on antiques in Warsaw, Poland. The couple live in their £500million 'White Palace' in the foothills of the Turkish capital, Ankara (below left inset) which has opulent interiors similar to the state-owned palaces at his disposal.
At Height of Turkish Coup Bid, Rebel Jets Had Erdogan's Plane in their Sights - Humeyra Pamuk and Orhan Coskun At the height of the attempt to overthrow Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, the rebel pilots of two F-16 fighter jets had Erdogan's plane in their sights. And yet he was able to fly on. "Why they didn't fire is a mystery," a former military officer told Reuters. (Reuters)
Erdogan Aims to Islamize Europe - Moshe Ya'alon Three different radical Islamist movements are seeking hegemony in the Middle East and beyond. Iran seeks to export its "Islamic revolution" and has seen success in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen. Sunni jihadists, whether from ISIS or al-Qaeda, aim to impose an Islamic caliphate in the region. Turkish President Erdogan is the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in the region, and seeks to create a neo-Ottoman empire based on the Brotherhood's ideology.
Erdogan supported ISIS economically by buying its oil because they were willing to kill Kurds. He allowed trained and experienced jihadists to come from all over the world to join ISIS to fight in Syria and Iraq, and to go back to their own countries, especially to Europe.
For a very long time, Erdogan didn't just allow illegal immigration, he facilitated it. We are not only talking about refugees. I went to Greece in February 2016 and was briefed on illegal immigration from Turkey. Many were illegal immigrants from Morocco and Pakistan. There was no war in those places. The Greeks claimed that Turkey subsidized flights from Marrakech to Istanbul for $50. My conclusion is that Erdogan aims to Islamize Europe. Lt.-Gen. (ret.) Moshe Ya'alon is a former Israeli defense minister and IDF chief of staff.(BICOM-UK)
