Dátum narodenia: 26. február 1954
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan je 12. a súčasný prezident Turecka, v úrade od roku 2014. Predtým slúžil ako premiér v období rokov 2003 – 2014 a ako starosta Istanbulu medzi rokmi 1994 a 1998. Erdoğan pochádza z islamského politického prostredia a považuje sa za konzervatívneho demokrata, jeho administratíva viedla politiku ekonomického liberalizmu a sociálneho konzervativizmu. V roku 2001 založil Stranu spravodlivosti a rozvoja , ktorú doviedol k trom volebným víťazstvám v rokoch 2002, 2007 a 2011 predtým, ako vystúpil zo strany v roku 2014 pred jeho prezidentskou kampaňou. Očakáva sa, že jeho politická agenda bude vládou naďalej presadzovaná, keďže nový premiér, Ahmet Davutoğlu, zaujíma k nemu poddajnú pozíciu. Wikipedia
Citáty Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
„How would the world respond if a European prime minister called for the mass deportation of all Turks? Yet Erdogan's xenophobic demagoguery attracted precisely no condemnation from Washington or Brussels. He probably overestimated the number of "tolerated" economic refugees from neighboring and former Soviet Armenia, but is it not interesting that he keeps a count in his head? And a count of the tiny number of surviving Turkish Armenians as well? The outburst strengthens the already strong case for considering Erdogan to be somewhat personally unhinged.“

About
„Turkey’s president is blackmailing the United States by threatening to curb his country’s support for the international coalition against the Islamic State. His goal: to ensure my extradition, despite a lack of credible evidence and virtually no prospect for a fair trial. The temptation to give Mr. Erdogan whatever he wants is understandable. But the United States must resist it.“

About
„Mr. Peres, you are older than I am. And your voice is genuinely loud. I know that it is because you are, in fact, in a psychology of feeling guilty, thus you better know that I will not sound that loud. And when killing is the case, you know how to kill very well. I know how you killed the children on the beaches, I know how you shot them. Two ex-PMs of your country once told me important things. You have had such prime ministers who said, "When I enter Palestine on a tank, I feel happy — in a different way." You have had PMs who said to me "I feel happy when I am on a tank while entering Palestine." And you give me those numbers. I would release their names, in case some of you might be curious of. I also condemn those who acclaim this cruelty, because I think it is a crime against humanity as well.“

About
„In my country there are 170,000 Armenians. Seventy thousand of them are citizens. We tolerate 100,000 more. So, what am I going to do tomorrow? If necessary I will tell the 100,000: OK, time to go back to your country. Why? They are not my citizens. I am not obliged to keep them in my country.“

Who was a terrific wankerer
Till he sowed his wild oats
With the help of a goat
But he didn’t even stop to thankera.“
