TV personality Dr. Mehmet Cengiz Oz is the Republican candidate for U.S. senator in Pennsylvania. He could become the first senator to hold dual citizenship, notably that of Turkey and America.
Which country does Oz owe his allegiance to? That’s what journalists and others have justifiably been asking.
It’s an important question, particularly as Turkey remains a rogue NATO member and unapologetically repressive and corrupt. Moreover, Ankara has long supported international terrorist organizations such as ISIS.
Oz and Turkish Terrorism
Ahmet S. Yayla was Turkey’s counterterrorism chief from 2010-2013. He acknowledged in 2020 that “Turkey was a central hub for … over 50,000 ISIS foreign fighters, and the main source of ISIS logistical materials [including] IEDs [improvised explosive devices], making Turkey and ISIS practically allies.”
