TURKISH JOURNALIST SPEAKS UP--COMPARES TURKISH PM TO A NAZI

Turkish news source Hürriyet Daily News and Economic Review correspondent Yýlmaz Özdil, referring to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoðan’s recent statements on deporting Armenians living in Turkey, said that Turkey mustn’t be allowed to become Nazi Germany.
We mustn’t allow the issue to get to the point where, in Turkey, they begin to say, “Our citizens are unemployed, why are you giving foreigners work?” That’s the most dangerous. If we say, “the Armenians came, they took our work from our hands,” we will turn into Nazi Germany, said Özdil in an interview with CNN Turk, while calling Erdoðan’s statements a joke”
“To prove that we’re not oppressing Armenians, we deport them. To prove that we haven’t initiated an eviction, we’re initiating a contemporary eviction. That’s simply mockery,” said the Turkish journalist.
