It is looking increasingly likely that Mr. Tayip Erdoğan will be Turkey's next president. This is the man who has aligned politics with religious belief whether he likes to admit it or not. He declares a support for freedom of expression, yet becomes upset over cartoons about him and takes artists to court to order them to pay for their freedom of expression.

The question now is should NPP take NPP to court for this disgraceful impression of artist Ned Pamphilon who has insulted himself with this self portrait?
