31. "Not a terror group"
Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (06.04.10)
Right, Tayyip. And east is west, noon is midnight, black is white. Etc., etc. Maybe this yapping dog is not an Arab, but in his unfamiliarity with reality and embrace of fantasy, he certainly sounds like one.
32. The more the Prime Minister of Turkey talks the more
Anna ,   Vilnius, Lithuania   (06.04.10)
I understand the term "Turk" - I am not a native English speaker - and the more I come to appreciate why people don't like Turks. This Prime Minister is probably the worst thing the Turks have managed to bring upon themselves by electing him. But, what shall I say, they are Turks, aren't they?
33. So did hitler...
? ,   Earth   (06.04.10)
be elected by democraty...
34. Does Turkey Killing 1 million Armenians Qualify As Killing?
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (06.04.10)
35. Look who's talking
David ,   USA   (06.04.10)
German officials who were allied with Turkey in WW1 documented the holocaust of 1.5 million Armenians people by Turkey, and those documentations led to the Jewish people by Germany in WW2. I don't think that a country with so many skeletons in the closet have any saying about nothing in this world, especially not Israel who endangered its own soldiers and got them lynched before opening any fire.
36. israel help turkish jew please...we are threatened
(06.04.10)
we turkısh jews are not well ın turkey. ısrael send us plane
37. officially- tayyp is a terrorist!
scarlet ,   LA   (06.04.10)
he just confirmed that israel was right from the very begining: he just said hamas is not a terror organization (lol). go to wikipedia in order to check on the list of countries Hamas is illigal at (U.S.A, U.K, japan and many more...)
38. google for "we con the world"
jessica ,   australia   (06.04.10)
terrorist= Ardogan. today he proove it to the world. again you shall not kill ARMINIANS, you shall not KILL (I just said kill, I'm sorry- murder) MURDER KURDS! there's a diference between killing and murdering, and as it seems now Turkey is the MURDERER here. so, internalize your own word Tayyp!!!!!!!!!!!!
39. erdogan a new ahmadinejad?
marcel ,   Brussels Belgium   (06.04.10)
Erdogan sounds more and more like his friend ahmadinejad!
40. PM Erdoga is really speaking too much-All for Votes
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (06.04.10)
As ugly as Israeli raid and indiscriminate killing of peace activisits, using such things to gain Muslim votes is very shameful Such parts of speechs reported here everydays are from PUBLIC ADDRESSING he speaks to thousadns of people and just try to take advange of this event to GAIN VOTES in comming elections Most of what he spoke is not expected from a serious Turkish Statesment Statesment speakes short and meaningfull Unfortunely PM Erdogan speaks like those conversation in Brazilian Series of Movies
41. Thou shallst not murder Kurds
Dan   (06.04.10)
Erdoan, look an the mirror! You kill Kurdish people day in and day out. Oh, I forgot, you are Muslim and do not believe in the 10 commandments!!
42. Good Luck with your accession to the EU Erdogan!!
Alex ,   UK   (06.04.10)
This guy is taking Turkey backwards, he's a great admirer of Ataturk of course but he'll do anything possible to ruin everything he did! Good one!
43. And Bin Laden is a goodwill ambassador
Ram ,   London   (06.04.10)
according to Erdogan.
44. Hamas not a terror organization
Cem ,   Istanbul   (06.04.10)
Well, that's of course wrong. Hamas is a terror organization as well it is an elected party. Hamas has to recognize Israel. If in the borders of 1967 or 2010 or 2020, it has to recognize it. Basta! Beeing an elected party however does not mean one is automatically not a terrorist. When is someone a terrorist? When one kills civilians. That leads me to my conclusion: Israel Army forces killed 9 civillian Turks!
45. Try telling that to the court in Hag
Dina   (06.04.10)
Because this is what the Israelis will be showing as evidence http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaiMjAULWn0
46. HAIL TURKEY!!! Israel, QUIT OCCUPATION
Nour ,   One-State   (06.04.10)
DO NOT KILL DO NOT OCCUPY Hamas was formed as a reaction to the brutal and inhumane occupation of '67 to this day, and subsequent land theft and murder of Palestinians. Quit the occupation and remove the settlements, although I doubt you will do that...so we jump straight to the end game which I prefer..................... THE ONE STATE (ONLY) SOLUTION. Finally Turkey is partner to this plan.
47. Watch this, and LOL
flyingdoc57 ,   Florida, U.S.A.   (06.04.10)

48. Guess who else got elected democratically?
Zory ,   Brooklyn, NY   (06.04.10)
Hitler
49. Someone must be putting something in his ayran
David israel ,   New York, USA   (06.04.10)
Since President Obama made a genuine reach to the Islamic world with a speech in Turkey Mr. Erdogan felt that he is up above the clouds the strongest leader in the Islamic world. He thought that now he can get away with anything with USA backing him. He was a megalomaniac but now he became overly confident megalomaniac. Slowly but surely Obama administration is trying to bring him down the clouds. Obama administration promised to veto a security council condemnation of Israel against the strong pressure from Davutoglu. VP Biden indicated that Israel was legally right in intervening the flotilla. As each day goes by, the Turkish intellectuals and writers are more and more questioning the wisdom of sending this flotilla as well as the real motives of IHH. It is also interesting to see that with the exception of Syria none of the Arab/Islamic nation indicated a strong support for Turkey in this issue too. And today Mr. Recep said that Hamas is not a terrorist organization. I know many university professors, Intellectuals, writes, one EU parliamentarian in Europe who believe that PKK is also is not a terrorist organization. What would Recep bey do if these people request to open an EU representation office in Diyarbakir for the Turkish Kurdistan? It is not a rhetorical question. It is a very strong possibility. That office if allowed would be reporting daily to EU what is going on in the east of Turkey just like US ambassador Morghenthau did in 1914 - 1915.
50. Is Turkey divided? Hopefully-yes
Len ,   Florida, USA   (06.04.10)
I heard that this "anti-semitism" thing is about Turkey's internal struggle. Does anyone know the truth on this. Can you really believe anyone is defending the actions of Turkey in promoting this useles mission. It just makes the loss of life so meaningless and senseless. The problem is the culture that glorifies death and not life. Everyone should have to watch the videos and see the actions of the "peace activists" attacking the Israeli soldiers. Can you believe Israel's restraint. G-d help us from the pathetic liars---they need to keeping repeating themselves---so that they can actually start believing themselves. Anyone in the West who supports or condones this garbage has blood on their hands--you simply are enablers to evil.
51. thou shalt not kill armenians
hazem ,   usa   (06.04.10)
thou shalt not kill armenians
52. So where is the oposition's voice ??!
Roni. Yarka-ISR   (06.04.10)
53. Turkey killed and raped 1.5 millions!! of Armenians
Brenda   (06.04.10)
They invased to Curdistan and killed hundreds. Ardujan joined Iran who is declaring to destroy Israel. and this man has the audacity to tell Israel "you should not kill". Shame on him.
54. Erdogan: The PKK is not a terrorist organization
Or   (06.04.10)
You want to convince the World that Hamas is not a bunch of terrorists? Erdogan you sound pathetic!
55. Erdogan super start
smith   (06.04.10)
Arab muslim world is looking for leaders. A new start is born: Erdogan scum bag. A scum bag leader for scum bag's.
56. 100 Cruise Missiles From Dolphins
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (06.04.10)
Bottom line: you cannot trust a Muslim. Israel has 400 high fusion nukes..to Israel: aim a few dozen now at Istanbul..and a few more at Tehran, should they act up. BTW, 30m dead Iranians in 3 wks if Israel gets angry. Turkey sponsored an illegal flotilla, looking for an this excuse to end relations with the "Jews". It's always the same. I was agin our genocide definition (US-Israel so as not to harm relations) I now say..the Turks commited genocide against 2m innocent Armenians. It's time for US and Israel to aid the Kurds..screw the Turks. Don't buy their coffee or rugs. Israel doesn't need them to fly to Iran..just send cruise missiles nuke tipped from your Dolphins. Get it Turkey. You are next.
57. Thanks Obama for Reaching Out to Murderers
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (06.04.10)
"help us Jews in Turkey". so one comment is. I want 50 Israeli F15Is, loaded with missiles, guarding their heavy cargo planes..to land near Jewish areas in Turkey. Also use helicopters for your commandos. Get the Jews out of Turkey and Iran NOW. If Turkey-Iran harm one Jews hair..bomb Istanbul and Tehran. You have 500 high fusion tactial nuclear warheads..on Jerichos, land mines, F15Is, artillery and cruise missiles. They are waiting to be used. Show no mercy if any Jew is harmed. Millions of Kurds, Armenians, Christians are tired of these Islamic fascists. It's them or US. Thanks Obama for reaching out to these haters of Jews and Christians.
58. Hitler the fascist was also elected
Jake ,   USA   (06.04.10)
So were you, fascist Erdogan.
59. Covenant of Hama
yehoshua ,   usa   (06.04.10)
Rejection of a negotiated peace settlement: "[Peace] initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement... Those conferences are no more than a means to appoint the infidels as arbitrators in the lands of Islam... There is no solution for the Palestinian problem except by Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in futility." (Article 13) On the destruction of Israel: "Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it." (Preamble) The exclusive Moslem nature of the area: "The land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf [Holy Possession] consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgment Day. No one can renounce it or any part, or abandon it or any part of it." (Article 11) "Palestine is an Islamic land... Since this is the case, the Liberation of Palestine is an individual duty for every Moslem wherever he may be." (Article 13)
60. double standards
James ,   Netherlands   (06.04.10)
Mr Erdogan, if winning an election and defending your land is the ultimate standard for being right, then why blame the Israeli government? By the way, why do minorities such as the Kurds or christians not have real freedom in your land? Why did you block access to YouTube and Google these days? I will give you an advice: call for an election in Kurdistan and if the PKK wins, let them create a free Kurdistan, just as you think the Palestinians need their fee Gaza.
