Erdogan's Geography Woes

The Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan needs to go back to school.

This is what took place while talking to CNN:
In response to the interviewer's question "When you go to Spain, do you visit the Basque region?," Erdogan replied "I go to Barcelona, but how can I enter relations with illegal forces? I cannot go and say "good for you" to another country's separationists."
Wow, what a nice gesture from Ankara towards Madrid.

What Mr. Erdogan wanted to say is simple, Madrid, I got your back, I will dismiss your separatists if you dismiss mine.

Too bad Barcelona is in Catalonia, not in the Basque Country.
