he wants to know how many innocent kurds were killed by the blood thirsty turkish terrorist "army"? Are you going to deny that you turkeys killed a million and a half Armenians? Or will you deny it, because it was two million? You are a blood thirsty nation led by fanatics. They will ruin you in the end, no one else.

awe struck ,   istanbul   (09.21.10)
In my previous mails, I have already made my views clear about Turkeys wrong doings and even apologized in my own way. I condemn ALL killings on every side. For some, this kind of approach makes me a mot, as I see from the talkbacks:)) for people like yourself, however, I will continue to represent the blood thirsty whatever I say because that one sided "view" is engraved in your DNA (and currently serves the interest of the masses) I can understand the convenience in having such clear and solid views on other nations and world issues. It really makes life easier. I wish I could be a bit more like that, Always confident that my side is the right side! I would be happier for sure. About your inquiry on how many Kurds and Armenians Turkey has killed (or the vice versa? I dont know the exact numbers. But any number is bad enough and it doesnt make a difference now. I was not alive 100 years ago when the Armenian tragedy occurred but I am sure I would be standing against it even than! How can one defend this? How can any country with decency defend or make excuse for killings?? ! tend not to believe what is being fed to me by biased media, people, and governments. Obviously, bad things have happened in our past, too like other nations and every fair minded Turk is trying to correct that mistakes. At least we are trying but while doing that I also have some decency to condemn Hamas killings of Israel civilians or soldiers, bombing Israeli cities daily, too. I condemn when Israel looses its cool and forgets the values it cherishes.I feel sorry when I see Israel, out of all nations, starts to become apathetic to the suffering around them (even though she is rightly fed up with the injustices she has faced through out history) I also condemn Iran for its middle age and inmature regime, Burma, Sudan, or the closeted racism in Europe as well. I can go on...I wish you would not have related the things that occurred between Israel and Turkey in the last year to things that happened 100 years ago or with problems Turkey has been dealing with for the last 30 years. It complicates things and makes mutual understanding impossible for both sides. I will go on remembering the good relations with Israel even in this time. Btw, when I said "nut job" what I meant exactly was a person who discriminates (or only feels sorry for) the deaths of a certain "nationality, religion or race" over others and fails to see the tragedy for both sides. Thats all.

I will try to hang in there:) Thanks a lot for your reply. I can say that many here in Turkey is, and worst case would be agreeing, with the facts you have put forward. As everywhere there are many hopeless cases here, too but you can be assured that we will do everything in our power to prevent that one track mentality to prevail. Best wishes,

There are some nut jobs among Jews as there are many (about 47% of all Turkey I guess) in Turkey also. However as Jews can not fix the nut jobs issue of Turkey Turks also can not fix the one among Jews. There are many in Israel and among world Jewry that actively fight the Jewish nut jobs (Eg : In Israel there is a left wing Peace Now organization etc.) So Please ignore the Jewish nut jobs, they may be loud sometimes but they are in the minority and there is strong counter balance a=to them. Please try to concentrate fixing the nut jobs in Turkey which based on the latest referendum they are many. Hoscakal.

I have been reading your posts on Haaretz and Ynet and realized you clearly know what you are talking about regarding Turkey. Don't think it is unnoticed by the silent cyber majority:) Ok I will continue focusing on the nut jobs in my country... with a lighter heart from now on though knowing that there are people like yourself and Solomon from bklyn holding the fort elsewhere:) btw, the latest nut job counting is 58% but it would be over simplifying the situation! I hope that you start having more faith in my country. Best,

I have not lost faith due to Turkish friends here in Bklyn. But you have increased it. Thanks. 'See you' again.
69. Say no to RADICAL JEWS and Turks
Emre ,   Istanbul   (09.22.10)
I said yes in the referendum but i'm saying no to all radicals. I'm not thinking that AKP is a radical movement like David is thinking. They made lots of good things for our country and they go on doing these things. I'm not claiming we have a perfect democracy but we are on our wayy to reach it. At the end democracy is a tool not a target for all countries. The target should be happy citizens. The governments change but the ideas of the people should not be changed so easily. If you are muslim you are my enemy mentality will bring Israel to give her decisions wrong. Islam is a reality and 12 million people can not change it. STOP MAKING WAR with Islam and you will find the peace.
