Al Jazeera English - Europe - Erdogan hailed after Davos walkout


I wonder why I did not see any Arabic leader who was furious about the audacity of Israeli officials like Erdoğan did? On the contrary Mubarak was laughing with Olmert while Palestians in Gaza were dying. Shame on you Arabs and well done Erdoğan. You kept at least your dignity!


Summary:
Turkey's prime minister has returned home from the World Economic Forum in Davos to a warm welcome after he stormed out of a debate over Israel's war on the Gaza Strip.

Welcome to the Turks returning back in the Middle Eastern History.
According to my late parents who spent their childhood under the Ottoman Empire, the school children in Syria used to intone each morning the following slogan:
Padi Shah shuk ya sha, something like: Long live the King of Kings.
I know no Turkish, but:
Erdogan shah shuk ya sha.

Çok is much and Yaşa is health. Probably it means as you say long live
