The stories keep on coming about prosecutions for "insulting" Erdogan. The most insane one started making news a few weeks ago, when a Turkish man filed a complaint against his own wife for apparently insulting Erdogan in their home.
Incredibly, it appears that such complaints, which need to be approved by the Justice Ministry are coming in at a rate of over 1,000 per month.
Dictators do not take insults lightly; and now that the EU needs him, none of the officials will really complain much.
