The ever opportunist and hypocrite Turkish madman Erdogan sacrificed his own son-in-law Berat Albayrak from his post as minister of finance of Turkey to please Biden after Trump has lost.
After Biden won the US elections, Erdogan got rid of his son-in-law Berat Albayrak, who was a close friend of Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, from his post as minister of finance, Biden promised to punish Erdogan for a number of issues.
Before we continue, I hope you noticed something in the above two paragraphs which are not supposed to be normal in supposed to be democracies. If you didn't notice look up your dictionary for the word: Nepotism.
The Turkish economy already collapsing due to Erdogan's military and terror adventures abroad, especially his very costly incursion in Syria, his interventions in Iraq, Libya, Northern and Eastern Africa, the Caucasus, Balkans, and all the way to eastern China.
Erdogan was still hoping that Trump wins and did not congratulate Biden for three days post the results of the election, he still hopes that Trump does not concede and holds on the office, just like what Erdogan himself is doing who changed the constitution in his country to consolidate more powers, and just like how his other friends in Qatar who removed his father from ruling and in Israel where Netanyahu keeps repeating the elections trying to remain in power, among other friends of Erdogan.
Another noteworthy here is how they all attack Syria on the basis of the above two accusations: nepotism and holding on to power while they are loaded with these in addition to wide-spread corruption.
In order to please Biden, or at least ease Biden's contempt for him, Erdogan sacked his son-in-law from the post of minister of finance of Turkey after a series of financial top posts shuffling in his regime following the free fall of the Turkish Lira.
Husni Mahali, a career Turkish journalist, analyzes these steps in a post he wrote in Arabic for the Lebanese news outlet Al Maydeen, I translated it into English here: Why did Erdogan Sacrifice his Son-in-law, Berat Albayrak?
