The Roots of Ozil-Erdogan's Bond

A never-ending novel, to which, from time to time, new surprising chapters are added. Mesut Ozil, world champion with Germany in 2014, joined the Justice and Development Party (AKP) of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. A surprise, although the relationship between Ozil and Erdogan is very deep. The political leader, in 2019, was even best man at the wedding of the footballer who married the former Miss Turkey Amine Gulse. But the friendship between the two, in Germany, has been much discussed for years. To the point that the Germans even feel betrayed by Ozil.
