Comment on 'Hell on earth': Deportation looms for Uyghurs held in Thailand

If Erdogan wouldn’t take these people in the case they were kicked out of Thailand he is not a serious politician. Forget Neo-Ottomanism if you can’t handle a couple dozen Turkic refugees.

Thailand has never explained why it will not allow the remaining Uyghurs to join their families in Turkey, but it is almost certainly because of pressure from China.

From what I understand it’s Thailand who prevents them from going to Turkey.

  Given the info in this article I imagine it’s both Turkey and Thailand keeping them in limbo, Erdogan probably does not want to provoke China either and simply would prefer to keep them in limbo.
