Erdogan learning on Putin's knees? Not so stipid, after all.

The Hurriyet headline President Gül may serve as PM, says senior AKP figure wouldn't cause me any appreciable excitement, after all I am not an avid watcher of Turkish politics. But upon second thought... what do we have here? Erdogan becomes president (hitherto a largely ceremonial figurehead, but Erdogan will know how to move a few document cases with him when leaving for his new office, I am sure), Mr Gül will play a role of PM for a few years and then...

Remember this pair?


Now look at the other one:


And find the differences (don't mention the mustaches, please).

Do Turkish laws also limit the PM's number of terms? One of Terry Flavin's Facebook friends is Turkish and despises Erdogan. I am sure he could explain what the game is. He might also tell you Erdogan is more evil than Putin.

Yes, according to the law Erdogan has to leave. As for Erdogan being more evil than Putin: dunno, Erdogan has still less people to oppress and less nukes to throw around...
