What should be targeted is a concept of organic, and not just mechanic, democracy that preserves the rule of law, separation of powers, and that is participatory and pluralistic. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan

When Erdogan assumed control, he gave power to a wave of Islamism, strengthened by Ozal, that had been creeping back into Turkish life under the radar screen of official Kemalism. ~ Robert D. Kaplan
Erdogan quotes by Robert D. Kaplan

I cannot understand how sensible people still defend Facebook, YouTube and Twitter ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
If Recep Tayyip Erdogan cannot placate ISIS, how are we ever gonna be able to? And placate is clearly what John Kerry, who once served in Vietnam, and Barack Hussein O and Hillary Clinton think is the only thing we have to do is placate them. Because we're at fault, see. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Erdogan quotes by Rush Limbaugh
A confidence problem exists on the part of the people of the region who desire democratic rule in principle, but remain suspicious of both the fashion with which democratization is presented and the purposes of the democratic world. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
There is no Kurdish problem. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
I don't want to use the term "nuclear weapons" because those people in Iran who have authority say they are not building nuclear weapons. I make an appeal to the countries who do have nuclear weapons. They don't consider them a nuclear threat. But let's say a country that doesn't have nuclear weapons gets involved in building them, then they are told by those that already have nuclear weapons that they oppose [such a development]. Where is the justice in that? ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
The US and the European Union needs to help in the translation of the demand for democracy into a political will. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers ... ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
There is a trouble called Twitter, the finest lies are here. Nowadays, social media is actually the headache of societies. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
According to this view, democracy is a product of western culture, and it cannot be applied to the Middle East which has a different cultural, religious, sociological and historical background. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Even in the Western world, one cannot argue that the ideal has been achieved given the existence of issues like the integration, participation and representation of Muslim citizens, and occasional but lingering anti-Semitism. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
You cannot put women and men on an equal footing. It is against nature. They were created differently. Their nature is different. She should not laugh loudly in front of all the world and should preserve her decency at all times. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
It is impossible to preserve my friendship with people who are allegedly leaders when they are attacking their own people, shooting at them, using tanks and other forms of heavy weaponry. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
If during their education our youths become alienated from their language, history, ancestors, culture and civilization, it means there is a very serious educational problem there. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
I went back in British history. Some 204 people died there after a mine collapsed in 1838. In 1866, 361 miners died in Britain. In an explosion in 1894, 290 people died there ... These are usual things. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
And it would be a bit out of character. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan may have started out as a reformer, but he really enjoys being seen as a larger-than-life tough-guy figure. He doesn't go on photographed hunting expeditions, for instance. But he does have hero moments, such as when his convoy stopped in the middle of the Bosphorus Bridge and he allegedly talked down a jumper, prevented him from committing suicide. ~ Peter Kenyon
Erdogan quotes by Peter Kenyon
He [Erdogan] has crept up to the edge talking about mistakes by pilots. But he also knows that with leaders like himself and Vladimir Putin, apologies may not be the answer. Just look at Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu apologized years ago to Erdogan over this incident off the coast of Gaza in which Turkish people died onboard an aid ship. And only just now is that relationship at least in talks to be improved. ~ Peter Kenyon
Erdogan quotes by Peter Kenyon
If Twitter, Youtube & Facebook will be honest; if they'll stop being so immoral, stop attacking families, we'll support them ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
I take the debate on the method of promoting democracy seriously. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
There exists an unmistakable demand in the Middle East and in the wider Muslim world for democratization. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
My legal bond with the A.K.P. may have ended the day I took the presidential oath of office, but my bonds of love have never ended and never will. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
The advanced levels which the democratic world has attained at the end of lengthy processes may have created the perception in the region that democracy is a distant concept; this perception can be addressed. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
The purpose cannot be creating self-styled democracies, but rather encouraging steps that are conducive to establishing democratic rule at universal standards. Obviously, this would be a formidable journey. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Obviously some states are allowed to have weapons of mass destruction while others are not. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
As a politician who cherishes religious conviction in his personal sphere, but regards politics as a domain belonging outside religion, I believe that this view is seriously flawed. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
A lasting solution to this problem will have an exceptionally positive influence foremost on the peoples of Palestine and Israel, as well as on the region and the international community. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
[Recep Tayyip] Erdogan is an adherent of realpolitik. He knows that international relations are not built on the strength of unilateral demands, but on solutions that are in everybody's best interest. ~ Martin Schulz
Erdogan quotes by Martin Schulz
The knife in the hand of a murderer kills, but if you give it to a doctor he will heal with it. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
It is not fair to call Erdogan a "political prostitute"! because prostitutes rent their bodies, unlike Erdogan who is selling all Muslims Credence to Israel by price and route of the gas pipeline to Europe. ~ Jahanshah Safari
Erdogan quotes by Jahanshah Safari
The whole world is an open, free market. No state can exist without the others. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
I am very worried about this concentration of power, and it's not only because of Erdogan. We have the ballot box, but we don't have the culture of democracy. The government says: You see, we have the majority, we're entitled to do anything we want. But that's not democracy, that's majoritarianism. ~ Elif Safak
Erdogan quotes by Elif Safak
It is obvious that putting the Arab-Israeli dispute on a resolution track would be an important element of overcoming the confidence problem in the region. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Even as we ought to accept that each country would progress with a different method and speed toward that goal, the standard for the expected end-state should not be lowered. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
I am aware of the thesis that the United States has long since invested exclusively in stability and this has obviated democratic transformation in the Middle East. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
On behalf of those you killed, imprisoned, tortured, you are not welcome, Erdogan!

No, Erdogan, you're not welcome in Algeria.

We are a country which has already paid its price of blood and tears to those who wanted to impose their caliphate on us, those who put their ideas before our bodies, those who took our children hostage and who attempted to kill our hopes for a better future. The notorious family that claims to act in the name of the God and religion - you're a member of it - you fund it, you support it, you desire to become its international leader.

Islamism is your livelihood

Islamism, which is your livelihood, is our misfortune. We will not forget about it, and you are a reminder of it today. You offer your shadow and your wings to those who work to make our country kneel down before your "Sublime Door." You embody and represent what we loathe. You hate freedom, the free spirit. But you love parades. You use religion for business. You dream of a caliphate and hope to return to our lands.

But you do it behind the closed doors, by supporting Islamist parties, by offering gifts through your companies, by infiltrating the life of the community, by controlling the mosques. These are the old methods of your "Muslim Brothers" in this country, who used to show us God's Heaven with one hand while digging our graves with the other.

No, Mr. Erdogan, you are not a man of help; you do not fight for freedom or pri ~ Kamel Daoud
Erdogan quotes by Kamel Daoud
We will not leave this nation at the mercy of YouTube and Facebook ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
We have taken a strategic decision to gather education activities under a single roof. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
The Erdogan government's first major step outside of the U.S. alliance was during the Bush Administration, when it wouldn't let Washington use Turkey as a launching ground for U.S. troops entering Iraq in 2003. ~ Elliott Abrams
Erdogan quotes by Elliott Abrams
It is essential that policy instruments be developed that would firmly establish democratization on the basis of social consensus and enable transformation on stable grounds. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
My own daughters weren't able to study in Turkey because of their headscarves, so they went to the United States. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Our religion has defined a position for women (in society): motherhood. Some people can understand this, while others can't. You cannot explain this to feminists because they don't accept the concept of motherhood. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
When there is no such thing as religious culture and moral education, serious social problems such as drug addiction and racism fill the gap. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Therefore, the question is not whether such democratization is possible, but instead how to meet the yearning of the masses in the Middle East for democracy; in other words, how to achieve democratization in the Middle East. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
I should like to repeat what I stated recently in the Jeddah Economic Forum in Saudi Arabia: It won't be the religion, but rather the world-view of some of its followers that shall be made current. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
If we look at history, we will see that regimes which persecute [their people] do not remain standing. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
They cry press freedom, but (the raids) have nothing to do with it, we have no concern about what the EU might say, whether the EU accepts us as members or not, we have no such concern. Please keep your wisdom to yourself. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
The best examples of lies can be found there. To me, social media is the worst menace to society. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
A fitting external security environment could also play an important role in promoting social consensus and institutionalization towards democratization. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
We are against the majority tyrannizing the minority. But we are definitely against the minority tyrannizing the majority. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
There is a heated debate in Turkey these days over whether the government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is furthering democracy or rolling it back. ~ Mustafa Akyol
Erdogan quotes by Mustafa Akyol
But foremost, I do not subscribe to the view that Islamic culture and democracy cannot be reconciled. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan wants an old-fashioned Islam, if you will, for lack of a better term. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Erdogan quotes by Rush Limbaugh
In Turkey the religious minorities have more rights than they do in Europe. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Similarly, it is argued that the culture of Islam is incompatible with democracy. Basically, this conventional perspective of the Middle East thus contends that democracy in that region is neither possible nor even desirable. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan quotes by Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Paramount is the need to secure human rights. The form of rule should be such that the citizen does not have to fear the State, but gives it direction and confidently participates in its administration. ~ Recep Tayyip Erdogan
