I agree about Abdulhamid II being overrated and overblown.
We should be fair with him rather than being bias. He was ruling the empire at a delicate time his reforms basically allowed the empire to breath. While at the time he had his bad like locking up the Ottoman navy, too much power...
Ataturk had a plan to make the Ottomans more of a symbolic figure.
Until the signing of Sevres and how the ottoman royal family still wanted to keep power.
Until Ataturk decided it was time for a republic. To be honest imagine if Turkey was a constitutional Monarchy I really wonder how things...
Not really GNA was losing to be honest eventhough it took Haftar 1 year. Haftar was actually coming close it was taking long but he was poised to take Tripoli.
Even Italy came close to abandoning the GNA.
Whats the point in having a republic where the President is just symbolic???
I agree the President does not need all the power but they deserve power alongside a Prime Minister. I always believe in Balance of power to be honest. There needs to be a balance not competitive but just so every...

For many this cant be defended at all especially for tayyip supporters.
Turkish Drones especially the mass use will help us contain Isis.

Either way Turkey turned the tide of the war. The GNA was on the brink. I remember nearly everybody saying the GNA's days were numbered no chance for them to beat haftar.
Lived to see Hagia Sophia becoming a mosque also saying the Ezan for it.
I think thats the biggest honour and life goal achieved. I guess Euros and Christ worshippers will spin this around just like how they celebrated Ahmed Deedats death.
Turkey allowed Wagner aka the Russians to withdraw rather than wiping them out when they had the chance with the siege of tripoli was broken. Turkey is appeasing Russia by this point
Another missed opportunity. Russia is expanding same with China.
Only thing NATO is doing is standing by doing...
