Meanwhile, in Turkey:

“What you’re saying is wrong,” Erdoᇺn said near the end of the speech by Feyzioğlu, who was speaking on the occasion of the 146th anniversary of the establishment of the Council of State in Ankara.

“What am I saying that is wrong, Mr. Prime Minister?” Feyzioğlu asked in reply, prompting Erdoᇺn to angrily respond: “This kind of rudeness is impossible.”

“I’m not the one who’s being rude, Mr. Prime Minister,” the bar head then said.

Erdoᇺn became incensed over Feyzioğlu’s criticizing of the government’s failure to provide permanent settlement to some survivors of the 2011 Van earthquakes. He stressed that many people were still living in rudimentary conditions in shipping containers.

Rising from his seat to leave, Erdoᇺn interrupted the speech, saying Turkey’s highest lawyer had “no legal right” to say such things. “Unfortunately, because of the law, we give a platform to things like this. You’re making a political speech … Everything you said about Van is a lie,” he said.

Sitting alongside Erdoᇺn, President Abdullah Gl attempted to calm Erdoᇺn down, but to no avail.

There’s a video you can play in the article; it’s all in Turkish, but it looks to me like PM Erdogan doesn’t handle criticism well - oblique or otherwise.
