Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan tells a six year-old girl that she would receive honours if, âGod willingâ, she was âmartyredâ in battle.
That religious rhetoric isnât a coincidence - Turkey has very quickly turned to theocracy under Erdoganâs rule, with the government and itâs âReligious Affairsâ department recently banning teaching evolution in schools, barring all public LGBTI celebrations, and advocating for child marriage.
Itâs sad to see a country which Australia has so much shared history with fall to such barbarism.
