Politicians slam Erdoğan over Hitler’s Germany comparison

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a staunch advocate for Turkey's adoption of an executive presidential system, has become the object of anger since using Hitler's Germanyas proof that it is possible to implement a presidential system while maintaining the unitary structure of the state.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday evening, Erdoğan was asked whether a presidential system can be adopted while keeping the country's unitary structure. “When we look [at other countries], we see that it is possible. You can see this when you look at Hitler's Germany and other countries,” he said.
