The article originated in Istanbul so will be presented in the best possible light for Turkey.

From other sources it is reported that Erdogan's son, who heads Turkish banking, stated the CHP (Kemalist) Party should have their financial assets comfiscated by the Turkish Treasury. (for criticizing Erdogan accepting the "gift" from Qatar during financial crisis.

This is the reality of Erdogan the Islamist Dicator of Turkey.

Seeing how much “we” supported the Fraud’s terrorist buddies in Qatar, building them offices and such, I’d say “we” helped fund this “gift”, too.

On the bright side, the plane is undoubtedly stuffed full of tracking, wifi, bluetooth, mics, and every other possible kind of listening equipment.

If you’re in a financial crisis, how can you afford to operate and maintain this aircraft?

Qatar’s emir found an opportunity to unload an obsolete whale and took it. What’s erdogan going to do with it anyway? He only makes occasional hops around the Mediterranean, Gulf region, occasionally EU or NATO meetings. Hardly needs a 747 for that...

...saying it was a gift, not a purchase, and that it had been donated to the Turkish state, not to him personally.

Ah, I see, he only gets to use it while he's president. Which is forever.

This sort of thing is only composed for the non-muslim in the world community.

Muslims under his rule understand this gift, and they have no problem with him having it because he is elite.

In other words, there is no question or challenge to him having this plane.

No question. He IS the Dictator.

Question is? Does Erdogan’s Turkey belong in a Western Alliance like NATO.

There is no longer rule of law in Turkey. There is no Adalet (Justice), only the edicts of Erdogan the Islamist Dictator of Turkey.

He will be judged for his performance eventually, it will not go well for him.

By still employing Jihadi’s who are paid by Qatar.

For how long before financial implosion? Good Question.

So far the answer has been Qatar’s deep pockets.

I knew A&M had a university in Israel. (the first foreign A&M branch) I did not know one was in Qatar.

Qatar tries to work both sides of the street, but still finances terrorists.

I doubt the US will furnish command and control and sigintel systems for it. (Unless Qatar already had that)

No. We all know exactly what he is. The world does, but pretends to not know.

Hide? Will require huge air support. Middle East is a hostile region.
