Death toll of St. Bartholomew's Day massacre: From 5,000 to 30,000;
Results of Ivan IV's policy: ~3,000 executed and ~10,000 died from the plague.

So, these "darkest czars" were innocent children in comparison with catholic monarchs. Ancient Rome and Medieval Russia were more democratic than the most of european countries ever will be.

Tayyip er dong un! lol lol lol lol I can't stop laughing! lol lol

Erdogan is of course a joker in the pack of games.

Not only German comedian could be sent to jail for insulting the Turkish president  , but everyone who insults the president should be send to jail

Yep.

That's horrible! Comedians should have the right to say whatever they want, I think even in ancient Rome and in Russia during the reign of the one of the darkest czars in its history they had the right. A country which puts comedians in jail is doomed.

Same here is happening in india an awesome comedian was also sent to jail for insulting Arvind Kejri wal 

Speaking about pics...

^^^^ Lol.. this is epic. If I am forced to name the most oppressive head of state in the earth right now, I will be totally confused. It will be a tight contest between Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Kim Jong Un. IMO, they should organize some sort of contest between the two to decide the winner. What about bombing kindergartens in Kurdistan? The one with the maximum kills per bomb will be declared as the winner.

I found this! lol

German comedian says Merkel 'served me up for tea' to Turkey




BERLIN (Reuters) - A German comedian under investigation by prosecutors for mocking Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan accused Chancellor Angela Merkel on Tuesday of "filleting" him and serving him to a despot for tea in his first public comments since the row broke.

Merkel drew heavy criticism for allowing German prosecutors to pursue a case against satirist Jan Boehmermann after he recited a poem on television in March suggesting Erdogan engaged in bestiality and watched child pornography.

Erdogan, a crucial partner for Merkel in tackling Europe's migrant crisis, had demanded Germany press charges against Boehmermann. Erdogan is known for his sensitivity to criticism and Turkish prosecutors have opened over 1,800 cases against people for insulting him since he became president in 2014.

Under Germany's criminal code, insults against foreign leaders are not allowed but the government can decide whether to authorize prosecutors to go ahead.

After weeks of silence, Boehmermann pulled no punches in an interview released in part on Tuesday by Die Zeit weekly.

"The chancellor must not wobble when it's a matter of freedom of opinion," he told Die Zeit in the interview, which will be published in full on Wednesday.

"But instead, she filleted me, served me for tea to a highly strung despot and made me into a German Ai Weiwei," he said, referring to the Chinese dissident artist.

The affair, which turned into a diplomatic spat, was a headache for Merkel as it made her vulnerable to accusations she was getting too cozy with Erdogan over a controversial European Union deal with Turkey to stem the flow of refugees into Europe.

Critics had already accused her of ignoring human rights violations and press freedoms in Turkey, a candidate for EU membership, in order to win its cooperation over the migrants.

Merkel is widely seen as causing the problem in the first place because she described the poem to Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu as "deliberately insulting", something she herself has said was "in retrospect a mistake".

Prosecutors in the western German city of Mainz who are dealing with the Boehmermann case said it was unclear when a decision would be made on whether to go ahead with the case.

Merkel's Comedy Club! Germans getting raped and comedians risking their freedom...

 

Russian intelligence will not target him right now. If they target him, it will give too much negative publicity. They will target him by proxy (i.e by taking actions against the businessmen who are close to Erdogan, or by hacking into his bank accounts). Russia and the KGB will target Erdogan only after he retires from politics.

I think turkish president must be very very careful because i heard in the radio that russian intelligence might trace him.

what is going on around the world these days.....ahhhhhhhhh

Yeah... be here after the European Union waive the visa requirement for Turkish nationals. 

Tens of millions of Turks will flood to western European nations such as Germany, France, and the United Kingdom (if they remain part of the EU by then). Earlier Turkey used to dictate the European Union policies by proxy (i.e through Angela Merkel, who is the girlfriend of Erdogan). Now they will control the EU directly.

That is why it's called 'freedom of speech' and there is no limit on it. The thing is you must know your limitations not the law will limit the things that you will say. It is every bodies responsibility that to take care of each words that you will say.


Oh no, be careful they might trace you and could be accused you, for you don't care for the turks president

And who cares about the turkish president?

I dont know what is going on around the world these days , people dont understand the feelings of other i mean come on he is a comedian and he have to make things to make others laugh 

Wow erdogan the mastermind. The world must look like the truman show for him.

What.... wait isnt that how putin usually get introduced? Wtf just happened here... russia is a vassal state of turkey now?
