3. turkey does'nt need....thanksgiving
les ,   canada   (09.17.11)
dear mr davutoglu. you are full of... demands. that is not nice :). just because you bought a europian suit, that does'nt mean you joined the civilized world. i am sure the armenians, kurds, cypriots take your demands seriously, just as the israelis do. so try to behave if you want to join the human race. thank you
4. Davutoglu, Turkey is yesterday's news
Cynthia ,   USA   (09.17.11)
Just go and lead the Arab world. Do something constructive instead of acting like a primadonna and biting at Israel's heels for attention.
5. I do understand the little guy
Observer 1 ,   Chrangbegbo, Ghana   (09.17.11)
Were there an american President in the white house, he wouldn't have had such audacity. But with this muslim called hussein, well one can never say. How sad for America. As for Israel, I'm not worried a hoot. Those (like turkey, jordan and others) who are trumpeting war any time they open their dirty mouth should know that Israel is not threatening anyone but we'll do whatever is necessary for our survival. I mean whatever. As someone has already said "those who are observing have understood what they are [supposed] to understand."
6. It appears that ALL the Turkish leadership is crazy
Tuvea ,   Chicago, Illinois US   (09.17.11)
At first I thought it was just Erdogan. But now it looks like Davutoglu is just as nuts. Does he really think that America is siding with Turkish war criminals in their various illegal wars against Cyprus and Kurdistan? Does he really think that America will side with genocidal Turkey if they go to war against Israel? Does ALL of Turkeys leadership spend its free time smoking Hashish? Seems like it from their public comments. Watch Cyprus carefully. An American company is about to start drilling off of its coast. What do you think will happen when Turkish warships attack American owned property? Do these clowns think America will support them in that too?
7. Turkey
Dov ,   Forest Hills USA   (09.17.11)
Turkey should be thrown out of NATO for violating it's charter. According to the NATO Charter Turkey must settle international disputes peacefully. Use of force or threats of use of force are not permitted. If they stay away from Israel there will be no problem. Israel has no border with Turkey.
8. Glorious
Ralph Haglund ,   Lund, Sweden   (09.17.11)
So after kicking UN into the corner, the Turks do the same with the US. Fine, I just hope that Obama reacts on the provoction as a normal human being - with stopping the flow of goodies from USA to the turks as long as they behave like they did until they were stopped around 100 years ago. And I definitely hope NATO also reacts instead of only read in their papers, and stop the radar stations they plan to place in Turkey to look at the best friend of the turks, the iranians.
9. TURKEY, THE SCHOOLYARD BULLY
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.17.11)
The jealously of the Muslim world against Israel is apparent. Between Lebanon and now Turkey, both trying to piggy-back onto the Israeli gas exploration, research and discovery of a huge gas reserve. Well it's done, Turkey is right. They will get nothing, like Lebanon, of the gas deal between Cyprus and Israel. A legally done International gas deal. So save the bully rhetoric already, all we hear from Turkey is crybaby whining it's so tiring. You lost, accept like a man, you were wrong on the flotilla and you OUT of gas deal, later chumps. But please keep whining, it gives the world a good look at a poor loser, who can't apologize when they're wrong. Like the schoolyard bully who doesn't get his way. He resorts to threats, aggressiveness and unfair tactics to win. Take your ball and go home, Israel doesn't want to play with you anymore either. Later!
10. great
fad egypt   (09.17.11)
the US is humiliated by the islamist turkey after two years of obama policies of appeasment of the islamic world at the expense of his ally israel obama is given the middle finger by turkey after obama supported erdogan plans to support the MB in syria he is humiliated by him great i believe that this is in israel interest because the interference of obama will lead to israel concessions as he is anti israel president shalom
11. dovetogolu talks honor
marcel   (09.17.11)
dovotogolu talks turkish honor. Well israel has honor too though it took over 2000 years for some israelis to discover it. Much of the israeli leadership does not consider important nor explaining israel's ancestral roots to the world. certainly, beilin, barak , olmert and livni did not explain this to the world one bit. An arab cable channel should be education the arabs 24/7 on these facts since their own leaders covered it up with lies of the palestinian non entity. Doovotgolu, you talk tough. Israel will defend its oil and gas interestes and its ships. Any interference from turkey will be met by a firm response from israel. Maybe you and erdogan ought to shut up with your bald faced lies.
12. Davutoglu PEARLS !!
Mark ,   t.a.Israel   (09.18.11)
GO TO YOUR OLD PROFESSION TEACHING THE GLORY OF OTTOMAN EMPIRE TO MALASIAN FUNDAMENTALISTS !! WE ARE FED UP FROM YOUR ANTI ISRAEL RHETORIC !! YOUR ZERO POLICY WITH ALL YOUR NEIGHBOURS BEING A TOTAL FAILURE !!!
13. IMPROVING RELATIONS WITH TURKEY !!
Mark ,   T.a. Israel   (09.18.11)
ISRAEL IS NOT ASKING IMPROVING THE SITUATION WITH TURKEY AS LONG AS ERDOGAN AND CO. ARE ON THE POWER ! They LOST ALL THE CREDIBILITY NECESSARY FOR ESTABLISHING GOOD RELATIONS !!
14. Davutoglu - The Turkey that thought he was an Eagle.
Scott ,   USA   (09.18.11)
Gobble-gobble!
15. FACTS ABOUT TURKEY'S
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (09.18.11)
They're rather stupid birds, when it rains; they look upward toward the source of the rain, which fills their nostrils, causing them to drown Turkey the country, is acting like the bird, looking for trouble
16. NATO must call a meeting to suspend Turkey
GZLives   (09.18.11)
And get clarification regarding the relationship between IHH and Hamas and the AKP government. How can Turkey be on both sides of the Jihad
17. again turkeys
deathly flotilla ,   WORLD   (09.18.11)
Israel has a right to defend itself Turkey was bringing arms to gazans \erodgan has a diplomatic crisis - he created himself - to bluff- and make his people and all arabs think how powerful he is- this is the turkey that wanted and wants to be emperor- besides stupid- ugly
18. Turkey
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.18.11)
It has long been clear that it is all about the natural gas -- which Israel owns and controls. Davutoglu has lots of natural gas, too, but it is of a different sort. I wonder how his family stands the stench.
