In other news, diplomats in Turkey’s foreign service are desperate about Erdogan’s order to expell the diplomats of ten Western countries, and the Lira hits new record lows, approaching an exchange rate of 10 Liras for a Dollar.

Oh yeah mister Krabs
Ankara wary Greece and Egypt may find a spark between them.
It never occurred to me that the Egypt deal might lead to Egypt supplying gas to Europe eventually
Oh god…
