Turkish Court Declares Despot’s Palace Illegal

Here.

This latter-day Padishah, Recep Fatih, wanted his very own Dolmabahce or, more exactly, his very own Topkapi. So he built himself a palace, with 1,150 rooms, all in the worst possible taste, but there’s no room at Erdogan’s inn for good taste, or for law, or for justice. What will the temporarily foiled Erdogan do now? He’ll arrest the judges. He’ll call them agents of the Americans. Or the Israelis. What else would you expect?
