“Erdoğan cites Hitler's Germany as example of effective government” http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/01/turkish-president-recep-tayyip-erdogan-hitlers-germany-example-effective-government
土耳古のレジェップ・タイイップ・エルドアン大統領*1がナチス時代の独逸をぽろっと賞賛してしまい、トルコ政府が火消しに努めるなど、新年早々ちょっとした騒ぎになっているという。
鍵言葉は「より強力な行政権力（greater executive powers）」であるらしいのだが、日本でウヨ系の政治家がスターリン主義への憧れを不意に吐露してしまうというのと似ているのだろうか。
Asked on his return from a visit to Saudi Arabia whether an executive presidential system was possible while maintaining the unitary structure of the state, he said: “There are already examples in the world. You can see it when you look at Hitler’s Germany.“There are later examples in various other countries,” he told reporters, according to a recording broadcast by the Dogan news agency and reported by Reuters.
A Turkish official sought to clarify Erdoğan’s remark. “There are good and poor examples of presidential systems and the important thing is to put checks and balances in place,” he said. “Nazi Germany, lacking proper institutional arrangements, was obviously one of the most disgraceful examples in history.”
Erdoğan wants to change the constitution to turn the ceremonial role of president into that of a chief executive, a Turkish version of the system in the US, France and Russia.
土耳古と独逸ということだと、ナチスによる「ホロコースト」はオスマン帝国末期のアルメニア人虐殺を模倣・反復していた可能性があるのだった*2。
