Bolton met Turkish envoy to discuss U.S. pastor's detention

Interestingly, a single pastor is a cause of the friction, and not 170.000 citizens of Turkey that Erdogan singlehandedly fired from their jobs and jeopardized their future.

You can't depend on that warmonger Bolton to be of any help here.

The tension was created by Erdogan Government. Erdogan was hopping for exchange Andrew Brunson with Muhammed Fethullah Gülen. Erdogan has said previously, give us Muhammed Fethullah Gülen and he will give Andrew Bruson.

Andrew Brunson was held as hostage for ransom. He was accused of being a member of the Gülen movement. Later the Turkish Government changed the its voice and accused him as a supporter of the PKK. The charges were later amended to include spying and attempting to overthrow the government.

I don't think the US Government will hand over its citizen to the Turkish Government. Erdogan has blamed Muhammed Fethullah Gülen for the 2016 failed coup. Erdogan wants to try Muhammed Fethullah Gülen in Turkey and he asked the US Government to transfer him to Turkey Government. Later, he suggests for exchange with Andrew Brunson.

What Erdogan will do next?

We have to wait and see what will come out of his big mouth. He doesn't have many choices. Turkey Government should deport Andrew Brunson.

I don't say the Trump Government was doing right thing by imposing sanction on Turkish Government. However, Erdogan Turkish Government is black-mailing the US Government with Andrew Brunson. The Turkish Government is putting innocent man in the small cell with with 17 Turkish prisoners also allegedly in some way affiliated with the Gülen movement. His wife said, he was pressured to convert Islam in the jail by Muslims. Now he was put under house arrest.
