Erdogan Fosters Anti-Western Sentiment in Turkey
23rd November 2021
The Nov. 1 assault on an American sailor by Turkish nationalists reflects the anti-western sentiment prevailing in Turkey fostered by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
During a stop in Istanbul, the sailor was surrounded by a dozen or more members of a pro-Iranian neo-nationalist group called the Turkish Youth Union (TGB). They put a sack on his head and assaulted him.
