1. This shows why...
Gabriel ,   Jerusalem   (09.24.11)
this man is concentrated so much on the damn flotilla... THE UN ASSEMBLY IS HAPPENING AND NO IMPORTANT SUBJECT ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES THAT SUFFER AROUND THE WORLD ARE BEING TOUCHED. Abbas in his speech even said that "the only remaining conqueror is Israel and the conquered is Palestine". This is complete bull, probably written by the Arab league to help all their masochist partners - the islamic gang that dominates the world by fear and that should be stopped now, hitten hard. They want apocalipse, let's give them apocalipse.

The 20 million Kurds who actually are a historical people and not some fabricated migrating arabs pretending to have an age old idenitity apart from the arab people.

7. Erdogan must be wondering "where is the love"
Arnold ,   Canada   (09.24.11)
I am curious how this will be played out in the media.
8. Apology from Erdogan Needed
DavidM ,   USA   (09.24.11)
Erdogan has demanded that Israel apologize because its soldiers defended themselves from a terrorist attack last year. Since he believes that those who are attacked must apologize to their attackers will he apologize to the men who assaulted him at the U.N.? They just wanted to heal the bleeding wound that is the human tragedy suffered by the Kurdish people and show Turkey that it is not above the law.
9. human tragedy

16. correction
Mete ,   Istanbul&TR   (09.24.11)
this news is just made-up.after Abbas began to speak Erdogan hurried to get into the council room to listen.The short way was the guest gate,but security officers didn't allow Turkish delegation to use that way,then he changed his way to the main gate. After Abbas' speech Ban Ki Moon came to Turkish House for apology to Erdogan,where is just against UN center. Please don't jump on these news.Israeli people are our friends since the world began,but not Bibi government. Best regards.

26. Assassination
Harry DuPraw ,   Atlanta, USA   (09.25.11)
Many of the ignorant, often-violent, comments following this article show one thing: The power and excellence of Israeli propaganda in shaping public opinion. They also suggest who is really behind this incident: It's a warning to Endrogan from the Mossad, and possibly also the CIA. Notice how nothing is said about the attacker himself--you naturally don't criticize your own zombied creation.
27. Better Luck Next Time
Dan ,   NYC USA   (09.25.11)
28. Erdogan's a walking disaster, what's to be expected?
Ypip ,   Canada   (09.25.11)
Even Egypt shooed him away.
29. Funny
idkak ,   Istanbul   (09.25.11)
statistics on some comments - 20 million Kurds.. they're about 7.5 mil. If you didn't know, perhaps a little more but no way near 20 mil mark. - Armenian "genocide" / " exodus" happened 1915's. Not to omit out from this there are "EVENTS" that lead to forced exile, like Armenian banding' killing of civilians, and aiding the advancing Russians (the enemy then)... However the Ottoman empire was put on trial, yet there was absolutely no real evidence to support the claims, (there were however many to support the Ottomans) so the court was dropped. Turks in Turkey are from all over the ottoman empire.. and I think its needless to say that Turkey was founded in 1923. Erdogan is a president of a country, any mistreatment / action against him in another country would be regarded as an attack on the country itself, and result in WW3 as one commenter said. Turkey isn't the Ottoman empire and it isn't the sick man of Europe any more...
30. Close Call--The Truth?
koose E Mack ,   NY NY   (09.25.11)
OK...I'll wager that a majority of the Turkish people don't like Erdogan either. Could the attacker have been a Turk, Armenian, or Kurd? Too bad he missed!
