Targeting Erdoğan and Turks may now seem to help German politicians in the upcoming elections, but escalating the current tension will irreparably harm Berlin's already troubled relations with Ankara

Just because they think it serves Erdoğan's interests, Westerners and the opposition are trying to discredit the Turkish people's great resistance against the coup attempt on July 15

The moments of people from all backgrounds standing united against coup forces last July will be remembered by future generations as the proudest moments in Turkey's history

Unless Western states fail to correctly understand the sociology of the July 15 coup attempt, Turkey will be a 'lost partner' for them and vice-versa

For Trump, who previously called climate change "a hoax" and closely followed the advice of Steve Bannon, the headmaster tasked to preserve his populist appeal since the campaign trail, the decision is simply meant to realize a campaign pledge.

Although Brexit had raised questions about the European Union's future, the election of the pro-European Emmanuel Macron in France signals that Paris and Berlin will continue to lead the continent.
