Lies, lies and lies

George Bernard Shaw said "The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else". Turkey lies so much it is no longer possible to keep track. New lies are built on old lies, which in the Turkish mind have taken a reality of their own. And time, coupled with western indifference, allows for the newer additions to the collection of lies to become the enhanced Turkish reality. And as Shaw predicts Turkey's punishment is that she cannot believe anyone else. How tragic for an entire nation to be trapped in the labyrinth of its own lies. Enough Erdoganochhio, enough!
