5. Typical dirty, low level turkish ways, of turning opinions.
Vladimir ,   USA   (09.25.11)
6. Turkey must be expelled from NATO now
zionist forever   (09.25.11)
Erdogan is sending warships to the Mediterranean with orders to fire on any Israeli ships trying to enforce the Gaza blockade. He has illegally tampered with the friend or foe codes on his American F16s which will allow Turkish pilots to fire on Israeli jets. Now he is in bed with Iran. He has been pushing Egypt to be more hostile towards Israel and now this madman is trying to push Azerbaijan to break off diplomatic relations with Israel and threatening Israel that the oil taps will be turned off. The nut is also boycotting the EU but is still wanting EU membership. How can Turkey be permitted to remain in NATO when it is as good as threatening war against a NATO ally and encouraging other countries to break off diplomatic relations with Israel? Certainly the US should rethink its plan to sell Turkey Predator combat UAVS and allowing Turkey to build the F35 under license at a time when Erdogan seems to be looking to start a war with Israel.

Guy ,   Canada   (09.25.11)
Don't drag Canada into this. You're one of them Quebec fascists and have no respect for anything but your sorry self. get a life and a job and stop sucking on those welfare checks already
8. idiots
MadMax ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.25.11)
first of all its funny to see how most most of the stupid jews are from former soviet republics, just like your lieberman...also like some people on this site with russian names. As an Azeri Turk I would not like to see our practical relationship with Israel deteriorate. But the truth is that Azerbaijan and Turkiye are inseparable and its impossible to see them not to share same problems. There maybe differences in opinions but when it comes to serious issues both will always support each other. Turkiye has always been with Azerbaijan, liberated Azeri lands in 1918 when armenians and bolsheviks were massacring innocent civilians. Turkiye shut down its borders with armenia In response to armenia's aggression against Azerbaijan and occupation of Azer lands. By doing so, Turkiye have lost possibly billions of dollars in trade. We, Azeri Turks will always support Turkiye in difficult times and will not think about our own benefits. It is up to Israel to apologize and fix the problems with Turkiye, but only after you replace those morons in your goverment.
9. Turkey
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (09.25.11)
Turkey is getting crazier and crazier each day,the Turks have no shame,85 million Turks are ganging up against a small nation of 6 Million Jews.
10. THE BULLY IS BACK, AGAIN & AGAIN
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.25.11)
How typical of a bully to use cheap blackmail, to convince others to his side. When your wrong...morally...then all you can do is intimidate others. So the arrogant bully is back! Turkey's arrogance in the end will isolate it, as others realize they are morally bankrupt. So they threaten Israel, then Southern Cyprus, arrogantly telling the EU what they can, and cannot do. You now see that allowing Turkey to have any leeway with the flotilla issue led to, it emboldens the bully into more aggression. Turkey has been allowed to pretend the flotilla was Israel's fault. When all objective evidence proved Turkey's guilt. So now we see what that mistake leads to, threats against the EU, Cyprus, Azerbaijan and who will be next?? As the arrogant Turkey thinks they can do whatever they want, to whoever they want, and blackmail as we see goes with it, as Isolation of Turkey begins because they are so desperate. Nobody should put Turkey on their vacation list. Hit them in the pocketbook, I believe their tourism business has gone down over the last year maybe two, good! Let it keep dropping.
11. Aliyev is secular and admires Kemal Ataturk
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (09.25.11)
Recently he has banned some of the Turkish TV series for displaying women in Islamic headscarves. He doesn't like the current Turkish Islamic influence on his people. He is targeting a modern secular future.
12. Signs of a nervous breakdown
Tambour ,   Eilat   (09.25.11)
Erdogan's behaviour precipitating to obsessive neurosis, hopping about in desperation seeking a win. The man should take an overdose and put himsself out of misery ,
13. Feeble attempt to be popular. What next.War on Cyprus.
George ,   Greece   (09.25.11)
Feeble attempt to be popular. What next.War on Cyprus.
14. #8 As far as I remember
Mark ,   Maale Adumim, Israel   (09.25.11)
.. Azeris feel insulted when someone calls them Turks. Aliev clan always appreciated Jews and liked to work with them. As for Turkish-Azeri love - as far as forums go, there is not much of it.
15. sorry, I meant number 4
Guy ,   Canada   (09.25.11)
16. barak apologies, me no
mohson   (09.25.11)
bibi should talk to the other members of barak's team and work out a deal to move him aside to say minister of doing nothing and appointing yaalon to replace him. Contrary to barak and olmert, erdogan is a rabid hamas style well dressed israel hater and no apology would satisfy him. That merridor wanted to apologize fits in with his weak nature as idf commando were absolutely justified in defending themselves. Erdogan says 100,000 palestinians have been killed. He is full of horse manure. Not only erdogan but abbas also lied his teeth off on everything he said. Peace is virtually impossible in the current situation.
17. Turkey receives 50% of oil from Iran
Cynthia ,   USA   (09.25.11)
What will Erdogan do if Iran threatens to stop oil and gas shipments to Turkey when Turkey does not comply with Iran's expectations? Is Erdogan's strange behavior already the direct result of threats from Iran?
18. #8 madmax
solomon ,   bklyn   (09.25.11)
Your post is a mirror of those from arabs accusing Israel of those same things the arabs are doing; apartheid, etc. There was no Armenian "aggression", only Turkish aggression. You are living in a fantasy, twisting 'facts' to fit your thinking.
19. MadMax # 8
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (09.25.11)
No, a moron in government is one who tries to break a legal blockade and then cries like a baby when it doesn't work and the baby gets spanked. An idiot is one that thinks Israel should apologize to a bunch of Turkish morons who have created all their own problems and are now crying about it and pointing fingers at somebody else because they are not man enough to shoulder the blame. It's time for Turkey to grow up.
20. MadMax' argument amounts to nothing but Muslim solidarity
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (09.25.11)
MadMax writes "as an Azeri Turk", and with that background note "when it comes to serious issues both will support each other". Our mothers used to ask "If your friend jumps off a bridge, will you jump off too?" Turkey is acting with arrogance and belligerence, even threatening Cyprus and Israel. Why would you stand in solidarity with such behavior?
21. It is all a fake friction:in fact PM Erdogan Favors Israel
T_T ,   Turkey   (09.25.11)
This show is staged purposefully, All Israeli interests are secured. This fake friction is on the surface but beneath all goes well, PM Erdogan Accepted deployment of American Radar System against Iran which will be operated in tandem with Radars in Israel therefore providing Radar facility for Israel in Turkey. PM Erdogan tried to influence Egypt and Libya towards Liberals and against Islamic Radical forces recommending them SECULARISM, which is policy of CIA to cap negative developments due to Arap spring against Israeli interests. Beside PM Erdogan sounds even more hostile against Syria who is next target of US-Israel aggression. PM Erdogan is EVER MORE ISRAELI FRIENDLY and serve interests of Israel THAN LIEBERMAN !
22. Erdogan...Biggest Turkey of them all!
Koose E Mack ,   NY NY   (09.25.11)
My sympathy to the good people of Turkey. Once this horse's posterior is assasinated or voted out of office...peace will reign between Turkey and Israel...as it should.
23. Turk and Azerbaycan are brother
Turk ,   Istanbul   (09.25.11)
The poeple located in Asia starting from Azerbaycan through Mongolia are coming from same origin, they are all Turani people jerk ?
24. Demonstration against Turkey in the EU in Madrid
Francisco ,   Madrid, Spain   (09.25.11)
as soon as current Spanish PM goes belly up in November. State denied permissions so far, not any more. No yihadists inside EU, thank you, turks out, no kebabs, we prefer McDonalds.
25. The facts about Erdogan and Turkey...
RichInBoston ,   Boston USA   (09.25.11)
Here are the facts: Turkey has painted itself into a corner. After years of alignment with the west, all its modern military equipment, intelligence and training are from the US, Israel and other western countries. In a sizable conflict, Turkey would exhaust parts and ammunition in 5-10 days of sustained fighting. At present time, retoling its military would take 3-5 years. Even if the decision was made imediately, it takes years to retrain and integrate systems to work effectively. Mr. Erdogan knows this. The US knows this. Most importantly, the Israeli's knows this. Erdogan can make all the noise he wants. He knows he cannot win any war which NATO or the US does not sanction. Not ever.
26. To those who doesn't know about Turks
Kagan ,   Istanbul   (09.25.11)
Azerbaijan's Turks and Turkiye's Turks are one nation, two states. We are one people with an inseparable bond. Erdogan and his government members are not of ethnic Turkish roots, so they tend to ally with Arabs, US, Islamist Kurds, etc. But this does not harm the bond between Turkic people of Turkiye, Azerbaijan and others. Governments come and go, national bonds live forever.
27. This Turkish madman seems to be on a
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.25.11)
diplomatic rampage...maybe he soon will hit the WALL...
28. Erdogan is turning his country into a rogue state.
Vlad   (09.25.11)
Turkey deserves no place in NATO or the EU as long as Erdogan is in power. The people of Turkey will have to choose in the next election: Syria and Iran, or NATO and the EU.
29. 23
Zionist forever   (09.25.11)
Do yourself and the rest of the world a favour and vote this madman out of office before the fool starts WW3 for the sake of his ego. Eventually intentionally or not Erdogan is going to go to far and he is going to start a war with Israel and people in BOTH countries are going to get killed.
30. Islamists boarded Turkey, on course to sink her.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (09.25.11)
