Turkish politicians are very honest. You will, for example, never see CHP leader Kilicdaroglu warmly shake hands with Prime Minister Erdogan and tell him that the AKP government has made such a great contribution to the self-confident positioning of Turkey on the world diplomatic stage. And Prime Minister Erdogan would in return never thank Kilicdaroglu for trying to make the CHP more democratic and thus contributing to the democratization of Turkey. An ultra-nationalist would never say to a pro-Kurdish politician that he’s a nice guy or a great woman despite their political differences, or vice versa.
