Erdogan says softballs not so soft
An Israeli TV interview with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan — the first in 13 years according to host Ilana Dayan — begins on the “Uvda” program, with a couple softball questions about what the leader was thinking during the July 15 coup.
Dayan says she will transition into harder questions, and Erdogan — constantly criticized for clamping down on the free press in Turkey — shoots back that the first ones were not so easy.
