because
He acquired land and resouces? nope
He expanded the economy? nope collapsed the economy
He won a major war and saved his people? Nope no major wars fought since Ottoman days
He became Caliph? nope
He got Turkey their own nuclear weapons? nope
Sounds like he has nil achievements unless you call crashing the economy and making everyone lose their retirement savings an achievement.
Because
He increased Imam Atip student population 5-fold since 2012 to over 1.3 million as of 2018
He has destroyed all U.S. human assets in the Turkish military, inteligence community, economy, judiciary, etc.
He gave Islamists power across all Turkish institutions, fundamentally changing the state fabric
He greatly Islamized the Turkish military in preparation for Jihad to liberate Muslim lands
He developed the Turkish economy greatly from 2002 until 2012 when Western economic warefare kicked in (it will be defeated before 2030, Insha Allah).
He is the most hated Muslim leader in the West (whom love the Turks greatly)
He revived the Turkish defence industry and produces weapons that frustrate U.S. policies in Africa and MENA (Libya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Qatar, Nargono Kharabakh, etc.)
He makes Turkey 80% self sufficient in arms (to reach 100% sufficiency by 2030)
He will soon offer the world a true fifth-gen fighter with no strings attached
He is extremely smart and is the one nut that Obama and Biden could not crack in over a decade.
