“Let the snake that doesn’t touch me live a thousand years” basically conveys the idea of **”if it doesn’t concern me, I won’t bother with it.”**

Remember this isn’t just a rival, Ekrem is the mayor of the largest city in Turkey.
Wish they would stop using Twitter. Yeah I know, minor thing in this whole situation but anything justifying that fascist platform should stop.
Applies almost word for word to Trump and the United States
ironic this is posted on x, a total fascist platform
What is his situation rn? He’s been arrested but present in places
Erdogan played the same playbook last year when he demanded expelling Kurdish activists from Sweden.
Let us make sure Europe doesn’t tread down the path of authoritarianism. The first and most important step is to make sure that we as nations retain our independence. Be it from Russia or from Brussels.
Stop calling him Erdogan rival.
suprised he is allowed to tweet tbh
The “ring” reference is not about The Lord of the Rings or Erdoğan resembling Gollum, but rather a quote from his time as a candidate for Istanbul’s mayor. At the time, he said, “The only wealth I have is this ring,” while showing an engagement ring donated by a woman to fund his campaign. Another notable quote from that era was, “If I ever become very rich one day, let it be known that I must have done something haram to get rich,” implying political corruption.
These two quotes are often used by the opposition to argue that Erdoğan and his family are wealthy and, therefore, by his own standards, must be corrupt.
However, the origins of these quotes are highly disputed. Some claim that a video exists from that era in which Erdoğan shows his own ring and says both of these quotes together. I couldn’t find such a video, only people commenting that they had seen it but could no longer find it, suggesting it may have been deleted. This could be a case of the Mandela effect or state-sponsored historical erasure. But either way, it doesn’t really matter, everyone already knows that Erdoğan and his family are corrupt as fuck.
