2. corrupt crook
olavi ,   espoo, finland   (12.01.10)
It is no wonder he has counts in Swiss banks. All arab leaders too have their accounts there. It is their insurance.

then a pig feeding at the trough
4. "dickensian racism" not true?
sweeter than honey ,   far away   (12.01.10)
well that's how the us ambassador described london in the 1980's. and as i was there for a while, i think it extremely accurate. and so much else i know of is accurate in these leaks that it seems that all is accurate. this erdogan thing makes complete sense.i am very impressed at us state department acumen. indeed the abuse heaped upon israel betimes by the bbc and such, also stems from dickensian racism, that is if you are not blinded by non-white prominents in british media etc.. think about it. and as for those israelis who in some way identify, even sympathise with dickensian racism, and join the bandwagon, i wonder why they think it has not applied to them, or will not in the future. lots of laughs.

6. classic bluff
djay ,   uk   (12.01.10)
"If you prove the claims are correct, I will announce my resignation" LOL I played poker recently and I can tell this is a bluff. He will never resign (and this is an indication he does have money in switzerland)
7. CAUGHT WITH HIS HAND IN THE TURKISH PIGGY BANK
JEWISHNESS ,   NYC USA   (12.01.10)
ANOTHER FOLLOW THE STOLEN MONEY by yessir arafat.... erdogan is just another political hack who is funneling money out of his people and into the USUAL HIDDEN SWISS ACCOUNTS along with the rest of the "HONEST ARABS" and their BILLIONS IF NOT TRILLIONS of stolen cash...probably a lot of it is USA taxpayers "AID"....
8. Erdogan
Ezra ,   Florida   (12.01.10)
Thank you Ynet for the "diet" program you are proving me, by publishing the picture of Erdogan on daily basis. I discovered your secret: Each time before I am tempted to eat anything I look at ynet, sure enough, I find the picture of Erdogan that makes me vomit, and cannot eat anything for the rest of the day. You should be proud of yourselves for establishing this unique diet. Thank you.
9. Unusual body language. Suggests ?
Roland Seener ,   London England   (12.01.10)
10. Erdo ganev
Peter H ,   Switzerland   (12.01.10)
Yeah it's not your bank accounts it's your child bank account.When the Swiss voted against Minarets a year ago.Erdoganev ask all muslim nations and brothers to close their accounts and investments in Switzerland. Erdo you lost all form of credibility!Soon you will have to beg Switzerland for political asylum because the turkish people will want your scalp! Run while you can my boy.
11. I THINK EXACTLY THE SAME!!!BUT ERDOGAN IS A BASTARD!

12. NATO member funds weapons for Al Qaida
Ehoop ,   UK   (12.01.10)
Nice. Turkey will be a great asset to the EU, too.
13. Of course it is true
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (12.01.10)
1. Although he did not have the financial means to send his children to study in the USA (His daughter went to college in Chicago) he was able to do it. He claimed that a friend of his paid the tuition and expenses. Why don't I have such a friend? 2. About 4-5 years ago he bought a cargo ship to his son so that he could start up a business. Now we know where the money came from. 3. He says that these are all gossip. There are thousands of people in Silivri jail in Turkey for two years now and they have not been charged with anything, only gossip was enough to incarcerate them indefinitely.
14. This is great news...now pursue him relentlessly...
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (12.01.10)
..and expose him. Have our friends in the Turkish military take back their country before it's too late
15. erdogan threatens to sue
marv   (12.01.10)
Raycip,w e know very well that you are a cheap demagogue that lies through his teeth. What the US muttered I say out loud-You are a cheap liar who is totally undependable. Israel will defend itself against all enemies and if you line up against us, we will fight to the finish. In the meantime, watch your own army because they are gunning for you as you have spit at the founder attaturk.
16. NOBODY LIKES THE TRUTH
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (12.01.10)
Even a jewhater like Erdogan.
17. bribed just like the others
Mahlon Drumgoole ,   Newark NJ USA   (12.01.10)
With trillions of dollars to spend, the oil-rich Arab states have the ability to bribe most of the world's government leaders. Since Erdogan is a radical islamist, bribing him to break the friendship with Israel was relatively cheap. This issue of bribery shows up again and again. J Street lied about its funding from the anti-Jewish Jew and leftist George Soros. Arafat had billions stashed away. Where did he get it from?
18. Oh my, how the truth hurts the guilty.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.01.10)
19. Erdogan
kierin ,   istanbul   (12.01.10)
Just like to write about Erdogan,His government has been nothing short of outstanding since been elected,His and his familys fortune is worth around 2.5millionTL which equals 1.5million USD. Which is consistently published in Turkey. 60% of turkey elected him as prime minister,have no problems with his accounts that he may have.So why do people not living in Turkey give two hoots, You guys are sounding like coalition parties here.Onya Tayyip youve got 70 milllion turks behind ya
20. Kierin from Istanbul
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (12.01.10)
I am puzzled from your post and I can not solve this puzzle. Please tell me where did PM Erdogan find the money to buy his son (At the time 24 year old) a cargo ship so that he can start up a business? Why would a Turkish businessman pay the yearly college expenses for Erdogan's children in Chicago, which in my experience having a son in College in Cornell right now, must have been over 50 thousand dollars for each year? Where did all that money that the DENIZ FENERI charity in Germany gathered from Turkish workers go? Why isn't this case still investigated and resolved while under the fake Ergenekon case 26 journalists (Including Mustafa Balbay and Tuncay Ozkan) a world respected medical professor Haberal have been incarcerated for almost 2 years?
21. #19 - if that's true, why is Erdogan defensive?
William ,   Israel   (12.01.10)
He should have simply responded with the same tripe you just did. But instead, he responded with aggression, which is usually the first sign of guilt.
