right... hmm... Armenia...
3. Turkey has just....
Realist   (11.08.09)
destroyed any chances of joining the EU and the modern world. Turkey will now be a cooked goose, left to rot, with just the vultures picking at its tired, worn bones. Yuck! For a "modern" leader to make such dumb comments is just inconceiveable. But much of what comes out of the arab/moslem world is pretty dumb at best.

vered ,   israel   (11.08.09)
Ahmadinijad you can see who he is. This guy . . . Yeah, Bashir is a nice guy. Muslims don't believe in genocide. Nor suicide bombings either. And the Holocaust never happened . . .

9. the sickness beyond that statement
Lior ,   Israel   (11.08.09)
is exactly the cover-up of Obama and company saying "Don't jump to conclusions" regarding the Fort Hood terror attack. Lies are the new truth and truth has been most conveniently and all to eaglerly thrown to the dust bin of history. If there has not been enough proof as to our phony friend Turkey we sure have it now. Every Jew left or right is obligated to never step foot in turkey again. Matter of fact, to all my U.S relatives, eat HAM for thanksgiving ; -)

Al- Zawahiri??? Sadaam Hussein?? The 911 terroroist just to name a few of the more prominent! Erdogan is the biggest idiot on the planet ! What a fool!!

Dan   (11.08.09)
As a president of a country which is responsible for the Armenian genocide he should certainly feel comfortable in the presence of Bashir
17. Brussels, are you listening???!!!

yood ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (11.08.09)
19. Erdogan
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.08.09)
Erdogan must have been either stoned out of his mind or very when he uttered these very idiotic words. Never will I set foot in Turkey.
20. Time for us to arm the Kurds
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.08.09)
Since Turkey has gone off the deep end the Kurds are in real danger of facing genocide at the hands of the Turks. End the Turkish occupations!
21. they think we should trust Turkey to mediate with Syria
zionist forever   (11.08.09)
They would rather talk with the Sudanese president than Bibi. They refused to take part in a war games exercise with Israel forcing the US to pull out. They are all buddy buddy with Assad now. Then people say Israel is anti peace process if it doesn't accept Turkey to be the independent mediator. Its a joke. Israel can never have real peace with the muslims just temproary alliances which will not last. Use them, get what you can out of them and then leave them.
22. RIGHT,TURKEY IS OFF THE MENU
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (11.08.09)
For Xmas this year.
23. Erdogan
Mark ,   Raanana   (11.09.09)
The guy has lost the plot and that makes him dangerous
24. Presumptuous Statements from such a Keen Expert
David P. ,   Central Coast, USA   (11.09.09)
Congratulations Turks, historical revisionism a prerequisite for Tyrannical Rule, enjoy your regression.
25. "a Muslim cannot do such things"
William ,   Israel   (11.09.09)
Right! The words "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing" are Western vocabulary. In the Arabic world, the closest words are "Islamic human right" and "Allah's will". In the Arab world, no Muslim can do such horrors of genocide because they don't recognize it as a crime. When they wipe out entire populations, like the Jews in Mecca, Shia towns in S. Iraq, Kurdish towns in N. Iraq, Christians in Darfur, or Hama in Syria....it's not a crime because "Allah allows it". When Arabs swarmed across N. Africa and wiped out hundreds of thousands, it wasn't mass murder, it was "the result of non-acceptance of re-education". They can't DO the crime because they DON'T have a word for it.
26. The Bottom Line: Turkey is a Muslim Country
W. ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (11.09.09)
According to the Quran a devout Muslim should stand by fellow Muslims, eventhough, they might be oppressors, or instigators. So why you're so astonished? By the end Ardogan is a fundementalist who will never favor an Infidel over a Muslim.
27. Well, no surprise here
Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (11.09.09)
Of course Erdogan would be more comfortable talking to a mass murderer. Erdogan is one himself. Just as the Kurds. Why are these people not in prison, waiting for the hangman?
28. Gee #20
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (11.09.09)
I have been advocating the same for a long time. Ever since Kissinger told the Sha of Iran to stop Israeli assistance to Iraqi Kurdistan in 1975 I have been advancing anyway I could the idea of Israel helping Kurds in the 4 countries they concentrate in, Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Iran
29. DON'T TAKE THE BAIT
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (11.09.09)
Prime Minister Erdogan is trying to mock and tease Israel.Please don't take the bait,simply ignore the fool.
30. erdogan
alexi   (11.09.09)
islamic erdogan cannot divorce himself from fanciful conspiracy and false rhetoric. His management degree cannot overcome his brainwashing. Turkish military look at him and rub their eyes. How can such a dumbbell be prime minister? If there were plots before, watch basburg and the armed forces. They have had enough of this imbecile. Like there has been no genocide in darfur!.Erdogan is inciting -davos moment, expelling israel from UN, and now it is better to speak to the criminal of sudan rather than bibi. Okay so our imbecile olmert dealth with erdogan as ehud had zero judgment. Israel should have nothing to do with this islamic radical and insult to ataturk. Cancel all holidays to turkey. and forget about turkey. Its over!
