1. Instead of..- Construction in Turkey & very soon 4 Palestine
Kemal ,   Turkey   (06.24.10)
2. The prime minister who refuses to acknowledge, let alone...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (06.24.10)
...apologize for the genocide of 1.5 million Armenians; the prime minister who continue to send his thugs into Kurdistan to slaughtered as many Kurds as possible; the prime minster who is yet to get his troops out of Cyprus, occupied by the Turks in 1974 having expelled from their homes and properties many thousands of Greek Cypriots is the same prime minister who is going to drag Turkey into the 19th century when he declares himself the new Sultan of the new Ottoman Empire. What will the Turkish people have to pay for this prime minister's ambitions... and what will the rest of the world...??!!

4. to #1 might as well ask from the original
ghostq   (06.24.10)
money donners to give you the money aka USA or Saudi Arabia because the arabs don't have it, and you know money talks, that is bussines.
5. to #3 he also probably secular and true ataturk
ghostq   (06.24.10)
follower, he got respect for turkish history unlike Erdogan which isn't even full turk(mixed greek) his wife is arab, and just made it posible since Iran now your best friend to get economical isolation on Turkey, the cyprus election will be against Turkey, the Europ as well, and since Erdogan is far from being finnancial wiz than you better start gravveling to Iran for Oil money she don't have.
6. If I were Turkish I would be ashamed of my
Jeff ,   Ottawa, Canada   (06.24.10)
prime minister and his outrageous attitude toward Israel. No wonder, the European Union, NATO and the United States re-evaluating their diplomatic, military and economic relationships with Turkey. Here, in Canada, the anti-Turkish feeling is deep, thanks to the Turkish prime minister's behavior.
7. Say Thanks to Jews.
Alfred Perry ,   US, Florida   (06.24.10)
Dear Erdogan After of your remarks on Israel just go to history and find how israel contributed physical help when turkey was hit by earhquake, where was Iran at that point of time. Inspite of all that after making your remarks on israel just think if it was any other muslim or arab country instead of israel. It would have frozen $2.6 million of the company's assets of CEO of Yilmazlar Holdings, Ahmet Reyiz Yılmaz. I very sure that Israel will not do that cheap way. But in your heart Thank G*D first and later Thanks Jews and appreciate them for this goodness. Please do not be puppet of Iran, he is using your brotherhood sentiments on religion by his shrewd lip service to score his points against Israel. Iran is trying to wipe off all the credits Turkey has gained in good books of Israel. I hope Erdogan understands and may correct his mistakes soon.
8. You will miss erdogan
Monastras ,   Istanbul   (06.24.10)
Erdogan won't be elected next year. but the bad news is somebody who is very bad like Taliban will be elected. You might want him to return as the situation is geting worse. People in turkey want to remove the border with Afganistan
9. I am an Armenian many of whose forefathers and
An Armenian   (06.24.10)
foremothers have been mass murdered by the Turks. I demand of the Turkish Prime Minister and the Turkish state to acknowledge its genocide of my people to the tune of more than 1.5 million men, women and children. I demand of the Turks to apologize for their murderous act against my people and not try to sweep the dark events under the carpet. And I expect Erdogan, before going to help other people, deal with what your people have done to others.
10. # 7 Well said.
leon Moris ,   Toronto, canada   (06.24.10)
You are very right in your speech. Hope Arab /Muslim world understands the real motive of Iran.
11. # 7 wish it was arab nation
Riyaz Mohammed ,   Nice, France.   (06.24.10)
Mr.Ahmet Reyiz Yılmaz OWES many thanks to Israeli Government to favour him and not react like other fanatic arab nation. Most people learn the hardways only, goodness of israel is unseen cause it is not felt with blows. Fear the blow of G*D.
12. If there are sane Israelis, they must be ashamed of this.
Jamie ,   Paris   (06.24.10)
Yilmazlar was illegally punished by Israel for no reason, the company was punished simply because it is Turkish. Israel can't launch a war against Turkey, instead Israel decided to launch an 'illegal' war against Turkish companies and anything Turkish. What is this other than racism?! Israel day by day shows that it is a tribal, vendetta seeking, ill state with many ill minds. On the other hand, Israeli companies are working with no problems in Turkey. I feel pity for sane Israelis, who have to live under the system of such primitive, tribal decision-makers.
13. to #8 you mean conquer Afganistan?
ghostq   (06.24.10)
if that the case than the rest of the world might impose sunctions on Turkey as well.
14. to #9 well said, 1.5 million victims won't be forgoten
ghostq   (06.24.10)
15. to #12 I know french people don't understand well
ghostq   (06.24.10)
English but go read it again the boycotte is from the Turkish side not the Israeli one who still employ him, and it was Turkey who send a boat to Israel.
16. ZIONIST CONVERT #3
Eran ,   Singapore   (06.24.10)
So what is wrong if he is a Zionist convert??- I guess you wanted to say "Jewish" and could not dare to say it. You have no proof that Ahmet Yilmaz is a Jewish convert. You are dreaming. Besides you should be thankful to him for helping the Turkish economy in getting Export dollars from Israel and alleviating the unemployment burden in Turkey. Saying someone is a Jewish convert is nothing but RACISM. By the same token I could say that the GREAT Ataturk that took you out of dark ages was Jewish- without any proof - and you Turks are very lucky that you had him as a leader in your dark ages. Keep hitting Jews and Israel, I guarantee that you will be back in the dark ages in no time. The Jewish people have given the world our greatest scientists and philosophers, and the cures for many diseases, and now you play a very dangerous game so you can look like a true martyr to what you see and say are the underdogs. But the underdogs you defend are murderers and criminals who want Israel eradicated.
17. Good, close all Turkish businesses in Israel
steve from raleigh   (06.24.10)
Excellent. Shut down ALL Turkish business in Israel and expel all Turkish officials.
18. @8: Turkey does not have a border with Afghanistan
Zvi   (06.24.10)
I think you mean to say that there are people in Turkey that want Turkey to be like Afghanistan. Yes?
19. @Jamie did you even read the article?
Zvi   (06.24.10)
Read it carefully this time, Jamie. Yilmaz is not suing the Israeli government. He is suing Erdogan. And officials in Israel don't know anything about any freezing of assets. On the other side, various Israeli companies have been forced to withdraw their staff from Turkey for their own protection. Your knee-jerk attacks on Israel are ridiculous, and say a lot more about you than they say about Israel.
20. To #12 Jamie
The Other Ron ,   Pittsburgh, USA   (06.24.10)
Bashing Israel because of Erdogan's statements and their consequences on business with Israel is typical. Once again, the behavior of the Turks/Arabs/Muslims/Radicals is of no importance or consequence. Again, the Jews are responsible for all . . . and in this case, they're even responsible for the words of Erdogan!! Incredible lack of responsibility, but this will never change.
21. Monastras @ 8, Israel knows how to deal with the likes of
leo ,   usa   (06.24.10)
Taliban and how to keep them off. What I do not understand where is your benefit in Taliban taking over Turkey? Do you really hate Turkey that much?
22. 19 Zvi, you must read twice and more than one source.
Jamie ,   Paris   (06.24.10)
This issue has become international and several sources have published it. It is clear that you haven't done your research on it but you feel free to speak about it, ignorantly. Yilmazlar already sued Israel some time ago because of Israel vendetta-like illegal punishment. The company is sueing Erdogan this week. Have you ever wondered why Yilmazlar is sueing Erdogan??? Because of Erdogan-Israel clash, Israel took its revenge on Yilmazlar by taking its assets and deleting quite large amount of money Israeli companies owe to Yilmazlar. So Yilmazlar company is suing both Israel and Erdogan. All your ignorant and vicious words are coming back to you now, enjoy.
23. #15 Your ignorant assumptions and racism are laughable.
Jamie ,   Paris   (06.24.10)
You make your racism against French people clear. Go see a therapist about your problems. I'm not French, do you think Jamie is a French name? Or do you think everyone who lives in a country is a native of that country? As for the details of this news, read my post to no.19. I can't waste my time with you.
24. #20
Jamie ,   Paris   (06.24.10)
Israel illegally punishes a company simply because it is Turkish. Does this not sound like racism and wrongdoing? The company's assets were taken by Israel, and several Israeli companies owed quite a lot of money to this Turkish company, but israel deleted them, simply because the company was Turkish. This issue was already covered in international media in last week. Not good PR for Israel. With this mind, Israel can never belong to 21st century liberal world. Israel belongs to Middle East-Middle Age-vendetta mindset. Enjoy with your neihbours, you are just like them, if not worse.
25. to #24 jamie you r not from france
ghostq   (06.24.10)
you r more of Turkish immigrant.:)
26. Turks, get out of my country, Cyprus, now!
Dino   (06.24.10)
27. no. 16 They are not Jewish, not Zionists either.
Anon   (06.24.10)
Yilmaz is a Turkish nationalist and secular, he is a member of Turkish secular nationalist party. Ataturk is Turkish from Yoruk tribe of Turks who have kept their culture and identity purely Turkish for thousands of years. They are not Jewish, not Semitic at all. They both have, especially Ataturk, very Turkish facial features.
28. Who says Palestine also must say Kurdistan!
nethanel ,   gush etzion   (06.24.10)
Erdogan is a cheap hyporcrite, like so many in the Midlle east. israel pays the price for collaborating for years with Turkey while not openly the plight of the Kurdish people and the genozid of the Armenians.
29. Monastras - we have seen Erbakan in 1970 ies
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (06.24.10)
Worse then Erdogan is Erbakan but we saw him when he was in power with Ecevit. USA imposed the famous embargo and for many years Turkish treasury was empty, until the Jewish lobby (I was directly involved) Israel helped igt to be lifted. But the fact is CHP is in the rise. They will not be great for Israel but at least they will be diplomatic and in their effort to turn back Turkey to the direction of the western civilization they will need to use Israels cooperation if not openly covertly.
30. Ahmet Yilmaz is not a convert
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (06.24.10)
Ahmet Yilmaz is not at all a convert or a Sabetayist. As far as I know he is a Turk (maybe Kurt I don;t know). He is not Jewish, not convert. However that person who described him as Zionist convert, he/she proves that when these Israel haters say Zionist they really mean Jewish and he/she has proven his/hers racism. and antisemitism
