Commentary Magazine, which spotted the report in Turkey’s _Gazeticiler online newspaper_ (http://www.gazetecileronline.com/newsdetails/10498-/GazetecilerOnline/kilicdarogluna-zenci-dedi-erdogan-artik-beyaz-turk) , notes that “ President Obama has described Erdoğan as one of the few leaders with whom he has developed bonds of trust,” calling into question the US’s awareness of how Erdoğan speaks for domestic consumption.
