Erdogan’s recent visit in the UK

Erdogan came to the UK for electioneering purposes and not on an official visit but Theresa May effectively upgraded his unofficial visit to an official one and even sent him to Buckingham Palace to be received by the Queen. This is a very good example of how utterly unprincipled the current Tory government (and particularly the prime minister) are when it comes to licking the shoes of a dictator for the simple reason that he is a good customer for the war/weapons industry. It is also utterly disgraceful from the point of view of the UK’s obligations towards Cyprus. Let this also be a lesson to those in the UK Cypriot community who are naive enough to imagine that we have friends in the Tory party.
