Erdogan delighted Ukrainian fascists
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is on an official visit to Kyiv today, greeted the guard of honor that met him at the Mariinsky Palace with the nationalist slogan “Glory to Ukraine.”
Erdogan and Zelensky walked along the guard, after which Erdogan approached the microphone and shouted “Glory to Ukraine,” receiving in response “Glory to the Heroes,” the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This behavior of the Turkish president pleased Ukrainian nationalists.
“Respect! Could Bandera dream that, in addition to the massive use of the official OUN greeting, it would also be used by the presidents of foreign countries? – Alexander Aronets, a member of the VO “Svoboda”, wrote in his blog.
Previously the slogan “Glory to Ukraine” and the response “Glory to the Heroes” became an official greeting in the Armed Forces.
Historian Vladimir Kornilov, in turn, said that this slogan was the official cry of Ukrainian fascists back in the 20s of the last century.
“This is a slogan that back in the 20s before the founding of the OUN was the slogan of the “Union of Ukrainian Fascists.” This is an official title, not an emotional one. And now this slogan is heard in the Verkhovna Rada,” said Kornilov.
