31. ***Sarah***at 5, and the Armenians...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (04.21.11)
Turkey is only an obedient slave of Iran...
32. Turkish genocide
Rick ,   Houston, USA   (04.21.11)
Turkey should talk. How many hundreds of thousands of people did Turkey murder during the Armanian genocide? According to the book of Ezekiel in Chapter 38, Turkey will be destroyed when it tries to attack Israel in the latter days. Sounds like those days are upon us.
33. The more religious laws, the more apartheid.
Yored ,   Galuth   (04.21.11)
This is the reality in the Islamic republics. This is the reality within the Israeli society wherever the religious people lead something.
34. Armenians, Kurds, etc., etc. ...and Turkey says what????
EST ,   Miami USA   (04.21.11)
35. Turkey needs to help the Armenians
Joseph ,   New York, USA   (04.21.11)
Turkey needs to first recognize their atrocities towards the Armenians before it tries to make peace with two other nations.
36. The Arab league is democratic?
(04.21.11)
37. Free Cyprus
Carl   (04.21.11)
Why does Turkey get a free ride for occupying half of Cyprus and ethnically cleansing it of its Greek inhabitants?
38. Gul knows that NYT likes to print bashing of Israel
Seppo ,   Finland   (04.21.11)
But he is also telling Turkish plans to make democracy. Ataturk separated government, army and courts. Based on EU commandments in the name of democracy Erdogan made changes. Everything is now under government control and after June election is to be expected that Turkey follows the wish of its people, forming Islamist "democracy" and trying to revive Ottoman Empire under their dictatorship.
39. Apartheid is the rule in Palestinian state
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (04.21.11)
Apartheid is the rule in Palestinian state not Israel. Even if the Palestinians get to create their state Israel will continue to have a 20% minority of Arabs while they will have 0% Jews. Abbas has stated clearly in both English and Arabic (one of the few things he says the same in both languages) that there will not be 1 Jew in Palestine. If that is not Apartheid and ethnic cleansing then I do not know what is.
40. If apartheid means:
sasha ,   Bilbao, Basque   (04.21.11)
to live apart from arab dictatorships and their clamzy regims- I am all for it.
41. Gopal @ 24, unfortunately you are mistaking. I am yet to see
leo ,   usa   (04.21.11)
Arabs of Egypt democritize (so to say). Arabs of Tunisia are little bit better, but still far from it. Arabs of Libya or Yemen got no prayer. Arabs of Lebanon are drowning in anarchy and are barely keeping themselves away from each others throats. Arabs of Iraq are most democratized at the moment, but I am not sure it will last after we, the US, leave. I could go on an on an on, but I think we got the picture. On the bright note, I agree with your post in principle. Eventually there'll be this time, but not yet and not that soon.
42. Two thoughts.............
Rami of Nazareth ,   Israel   (04.21.11)
1-I do not see a relationship between Israeli-Palestinian peace and democracy in the arab world. Arab world should be democratic because people, including arab, are born FREE.. and no one has the right to take this freedom away, neither brutal dictators nor evil islamist 2-Israel should change the nature of relations with the arab world from a relation with the hated and brutal rulers to a relationship with the people.
43. Like the Kurds, Armenians, Greeks and Cypriots?
rivka ,   los angeles   (04.21.11)
Like Iran, Erdogan's paymasters, who are committing genocide against women, sunni muslims, bahais, christians, and who are now banning even DOGS !!!!! Like Erdogan's other 'best friend' ASSAD, THE SECOND GENERATION criminal murderer of Kurds, Druze, Sunnis - with their tri-lateral army of terrorists Hamas, Hizbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood? Is that why Erdogan and Gul have arrested and and torturing ALL his opponents under false charges to ENSURE his dictatorship - along with all journalists who suspect that he is is perverting the 'secular' police state into a new Islamic Republic of Turkey??? Is that why Erdogan had Ibrahim Tatlises shot?
44. Gopel, untill you live here and experience
gali   (04.21.11)
the sh#@ we go through just keep it shtom ok!
45. Turkey stands ready to help Israel to get new holocast!
Jouko ,   Finland   (04.21.11)
I don't understand how Turkey stands ready to help by people like Erdogan who is the worst kind of hate inciters! Turkey wants to help Israel get a new holocast!
46. LIE FREE ZONE
Alfred Inselberg ,   Raanana, Israel   (04.21.11)
What is needed is a LIE FREE ZONE
47. Yes, FREE KURDISTAN, and stop lecturing Israel!
Ohev Tsion ,   Israel   (04.21.11)
48. Gul
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (04.21.11)
Look woh speaking the champoins of ethnic cleansing starting in 1915 and keep until today. FYI the Armenians are in the European Union and what about the lossers of Ankara?
49. #40 Bravo Vasca Bravo Libertad
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (04.21.11)
50. convinced...
Jordan ,   Washington, DC   (04.21.11)
I'm now 100% convinced that most Muslims don't know what apartheid actually is and it's clear he doesn't realize that Israel has ALWAYS been surrounded by an Arab "sea of anger".
51. becoming?
(04.21.11)
52. Apartheid in Israel
nathan rai ,   bangalore   (04.21.11)
Israel should ask Mr Gul for a graph of the the percentage of Jews, Christians in Muslim countries the last 50 years. I doubt if any one other than Leiberman will have the sense or guts to ask this question of the closet jihadis.
53. TURKEY -IRAN-SYRIA
American ,   Los Angeles   (04.21.11)
The main sponsors of islamic terror.Sanction on all of them
54. Before Israel, Free Thrace, Hatay, Armenia, Kurdistan,Cyprus
Marco ,   Spain   (04.21.11)
Smyrna, Anatolia.............. from Turkish Apartheid
55. Did the Ottoman's ever occupy and discriminate?
Barry ,   Eilat   (04.21.11)
I think the Ottorman's may have occupied other peoples land and treated the people they occupied as dhimmis. Where as we occupy our own indisputable Jewish home land and all our guests are welcome to worship anything they like. We only get upset when people try and kill us. I like the old British tradition on December the 25th, STUFF TURKEY!
56. you people are never cease to amaze
anton ,   istanbul turkey   (04.21.11)
me :D when ever thre is news about turkey all you have to say is kurds cyprus armenians, are you proud of yourself to justiyf your wrongdoings by bringin the matters up normally you dont care why werent you crititizing turkish oppressing kurds butcherin armenians invading cyprus before? sorry but your sweet feelings about them are false, and stop kidding yourself for tiny israel turkey wont be kicked out of nato :) you dont know how absurd you look from outside
57. Palestinian charters still call for Israel's eradication.
DR ,   Wales   (04.21.11)
The Palestinians have the gall to talk of peace and accuse Israel of not wanting peace. The Palestinian charters of Fatah and Hamas, not forgetting the PLO's very own phased plan, all STILL call for the eradication of Israel. These charters are at the foundation of such groups who the Palestinians vote into power. Hypocrites. Israel ceded Gaza for peace. The rest is history. The Arab/Islamic agenda was clear for all to see in 1948, 1967, 1973 et al and remains to this day. Peace? Who are they trying to kid?!
58. Turkish terrorists are even worth paying lip service to.
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (04.21.11)
they are the real apartheidists. Lok at the genocide they are commiting daily against the indigenous Kurdish people. Turkey is a TERROR STATE.
59. turkey a peace mediator?
ed ,   reno, america   (04.21.11)
turkey continues to try to lift themselves up as something important but all they do is make their lies more recognizable! how can they say they want to mediate peace when they are an iranian puppet and iran only wants the total annihilation of Israel. turkey and truth are not compatible! they are an islamist puppet, and they cannot shout their lies loud enough to make them sound like truth!
60. The last Muslim leader who wrote on Israel in NYT op ed
EZ   (04.21.11)
was Gaddafi.
