The whole "flotilla" was arranged to overthrow the right-wing coalition and to bring Livni to power.

i used to think that this guy is honest nobel man who works for inproments of his country how wrond i was over the years he took his predecessor deniz baykals stance that is criticism no what matter what first deniz baykal and now kılıçdaroglu disinclined people from the party, chp is not the party that ataturk founded anymore i as staunch secularist have to admit and commend that akp has done more in 9 years than all other past goverments combined could do

this neo ottoman Turkish government has been looking for trouble even before they encouraged the gaza flotilla incident - even the Fetullah Gulen agrees that this has been a provocation. It's a pity because our nations could have had a great destiny together...

Hope he speaks a little louder !

Now I know they aren't paying attention in Turkey. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's just that Livni has no real power because the people took it away from her and Olmert (thankfully). This is what Turkey can learn from Israel - the power of the people to do away with ineffective despots in their govt.

Turkey used to be called the "sick man of Eurpoe". But that was a physical sickness only and its health coul be restored by a medicine asministered by Atatürk. Today is sick again, but it is hopeless: is schizophrenia.

...I, too, support its refusal to apologize in this matter. And hostility will not make Turkey more right. It will just be sad, regardless. I hope Erdogan won't climb a tree his successor could not climb down of.
