No apologies

The Turkish government of Recep Tayyip Erdogan gives new meaning to word hypocrisy.

It won’t apologize for its Nazi-like slaughter of the Armenian people; it won’t apologize to the Russians for downing of a plane that may have entered its airspace.

However, it refuses to remove its troops from Iraqi land and wants an apology from Israel for the deaths of menacing Turks who illegally tried to enter Israel.
