Turkish PM Erdoğan complains of being called 'Georgian, Armenian', said in 2004 "I AM A GEORGIAN"


Turkish PM Erdoğan complains of being called 'even uglier things, Armenian'.(HD).

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has dug himself a deeper hole in trying to defend himself for labeling his opponents according to their minority religious or ethnic identity, saying he was even called “uglier things,” such as “Armenian.”

They have also said a lot of things about me. One of them came and said I was a Georgian. Then another came up and, I beg your pardon, called me uglier things, saying I was Armenian,” Erdoğan said during a live interview on Aug. 5, adding that he was a purebred Turk.

What I have learned from my grandfather, my father and all of them is that I am Turkish. That’s it,” he said in remarks that have caused great controversy. Hmmmm....Erdogan forgot he said in 2004 'I Am AGeorgian' :)

Erdoğan was born in the Kasımpaşa neighborhood of Istanbul where he lived with his first cousin, Danny "Talat" Torosoglu,[21] to a family that had moved there from Rize Province.

Erdoğan said, I'm a Georgian, my family is a Georgian family which migrated from Batumi to Rize.[22]
