Puño de Hierro en Turquía (tags)
Basta leer unas líneas, por ejemplo del “Corriere della sera” (1), para hacerse una idea de qué sucederá en Turquía después del fallido golpe del 15 de julio. “El puño de hierro de Erdogan, después del fallido golpe en Turquía: estoy dispuesto a reintroducir la pena de muerte.

Furthermore, since April 2011, Mr Erdogan’s government has been thoroughly complicit in NATO’s war crimes in Syria.
