THE Turkish danger facing our region, from Syria to Libya through Iraq, is not represented only by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as an individual, but his ideas and they are too complicated to be summed up in a short column as he is too ambitious for leadership, perhaps to the extent of being crazy.The story is that Erdogan’s course of action is based always on justifications, and this is normal as he needs a scheme that mobilizes him. The justification for his scheme is the revival of the new Ottoman Empire, and for this reason Erdogan speaks clearly about the history of Turkey in Libya, and the “sacrifices.”The other issue is that Erdogan, since the Arab Spring, posed himself as a defender of the Muslim Brotherhood, and he is posing himself as an Islamist and symbol of the...

Erdogan does not pose danger, his ideas do
Cybercrime is an offensive or illegal act that is undertaken with a criminal motive to intentionally acquire financial gains, cause physical or mental harm, and defame a victim.

Please leave our employees out of this.” Here, he means Twitter’s...
