M.S. ,   mpls america   (09.25.11)
I admit that Israel did not handle the Mara Maramara blockcade runner cruise ship incident properly but why ask the Ruskis to help you they have no interest in Arab Jew affairs Turkey is more aligned with Syria Egypt Lebanon Iran than with the Ruskis most Ruskis probably wish they could take over Turkey they would like a naval base to the Mediterean Sea remember you are a member of NATO which still is the opposite of the Ruski system any way with 73 million Turks compared to merely 6 million Jews Israelis Turkey can fight Israel alone does no not even need Egyptian Syrian Hezbollah help remember Galipoli in W W I Turks know how to fight are more like Israel in war than the otther Arab states they all look up to big brother Erodogan to lead them not go runing to the Ruskis like a yellow dog America may do that but not Turkey you can stand alone unafraid Israel does not scare Turkey RIGHT ??? On the other hand remember this is all new stuff it takes time to set in this new diplomacy give it 5 10 years the Ruskis America the U K move much slower than us Arab Jews they have a different time mind frame speed than we seem to have especially up on such important matters like honor but Turkey needs no help from the Nato bloc and or the Ruski bloc to fight Israel RIGHT ??? Thank You... M. S.
35. Stop Arming Azerbaijan
Armenian ,   Los Angeles, USA   (09.26.11)
Dear Israeli's- for 40 years you supported Turkey, gave them arms, intellegence info and all you could give. For 40 years, your lobby in Washington stopped our efforts to get recognition for Armenian Genocide - then the Turks bit your hand and bit it hard. Now, again, you are arming Azerbaijan to teeth with petro dollars, supporting their world wide campaign around the world. As Armenian, everytime we turn around, you are supporting our enemies. We share common historical tragedy that no one in the world understands but us. These people will always at the end betray you. Armenians will hold Israel responsible if Azerbaijan uses your arms and attack our land. It's not too late. Stop selling your principals, and think about judgment and history. Begin new - stop arming Azerbaijan, start peace process with Palestinians and begin the healing process in the region.
36. MadMax #8 I am not Russion Jew I am Turkish Jew
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (09.26.11)
And as a Turkish born American Jew I am glad to see that Aliyev is followong the path that Kemal Ataturk paved and AKP abandoned. Israel is your friend. Stay friendly with Israel and you will benefit from it just like in the past Turkey benefited form Israeli friendship. One day Turkiye also will have a new secular government and slowly improve relations with Israel. I hope sooner then later.
37. T_T from Trkey # 21 - you are wrong because
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (09.26.11)
1. Erdogan, AKP, BUlent Arinc, their predecessor Erbakan, they are all anti Semites and they hate Israel, they love Arabs. (I still remember Erbakan wanting to create an Islamic super alliance. Now Erdogan is trying the same from a different approach) As Erdogan once said "democracy for us is not an objective it is a bus, when we arrive at our destination we will get off the bus." So this statement shows that he will do anything to readch his objectives. If inthe past he had to be friendly with his enemy - that is Israel- he did it. If he has to appease US demands he will do it (Gerekirse ansini bile satar). He was best friends with Bashar al Assad only 2 months ago today arch enemy, Khaddafi had opened his arms warehouse to Turkey in 1974 Cyprus invasion, Erdogan recently paid it back bay sending those arms on top of Khaddafis head. You know inTurkey they used to say Araptan dost olmaz (Arabs don't make friends) BUt itlooks like we must now add Turkten de dost olmaz. Thanks to Erdgan Turkey's best friend in the region Israel is niw recognized as enemy in Turkish fighter Jets' IFF code. Iran is angry at Turkey for the NATO radar, Khaddafi is bombed by Turkish Jets, Bashar Al Assad is the latest victim to Turkish friendship. Haydi hayirli.
38. @28 vlad, sorry where are u from??
zzz ,   ankara.tc   (09.26.11)
39. David yalan söylüyorsun
A turkish friend   (09.26.11)
First of all please give correct facts to the audience. There are not turkish jets bombed Gaddaffi but French and Uk's. Sarkozzy as well as Tony Blair was close friends to Ghaddafi too. Gaddaffi like Assad and others are dictators as of their origins. As a great player of ME region Turkey must have react and he did it right. Anlaşılan Türkiyeyi unutamamışsın. seni anlayabiliyorum ama sizin aşır sağ hükümetiniz değişince ancak düzelir ilişkiler.Türklerde sizi severdi.Sadece şu ana kadar hak ettiğimiz taşaklı bir liderimiz yoktu.Erdoğan size bütün dünyanın söylediğini söylüyor-oturun filistinle anlaşın sonuçta onların ülkesini işgal ettiniz,o zaman sorun biter. Türkler size nasıl el uzattıysa başkalarınada yardım edecektir.Kıskanmayın ve düşman kesilmeyin.Sana Istanbuldan selamlar.Benimde çok musevi dostum var burada,biz insan yemeyiz....
40. Erdogan and Aberzaijan
DrJLD ,   United States   (09.26.11)
It appears that Erdogan is a megalomaniac who seeks to cast his net of influence and control far-and-wide in the Muslim world. He is a liar and scoundrel who keeps upping the ante on what Israel must do to please him. They will never be able to please him unless they vacate their own country. Ally or not to the US and NATO, it is onvious that the Turks are turning away from the West and towards their old Ottoman Empire. We will eventually be required tio halt what will increasingly become armed actions by them (see attacks on Kurds in other countries). They are not really friends to be counted on anymore.
41. Turkey and the Turkic world
Ibrahim ,   Turkey   (09.26.11)
I recommend that people read "Sons of the Conquerors: The Rise of the Turkic World" by Hugh Pope if they want an insight into Turkish relations with the Turkic world. Turkey once again shows that isolation is a bigger weapon than thermo-nuclear bombs.
42. So Turkey has now resorted to extortion?
William ,   Israel   (09.26.11)
Unbelievable how far Erdogan will go down just to poke the eye of Israel and cover up their previous crimes.
43. need of oil & gas?
ifeanyi ,   nigeria   (09.26.11)
Nigeria (south east NIgeria) is one of the most pro israeli country on earth. israel has a huge advantages of investing in oil and gas in the south East Nigeria. with the current Nigerian administration, Israel is assured a sweet deal. the only thing that israel will care about is transporting the materials.
44. Turkey has NEVER been a secular state.
Edward ,   Sydney, Australia   (09.26.11)
In Turkish schools, maths is optional but religious classes are compulsory. This already shows it's quite backward. Secular school religious class consists of teaching children why Islam is the best and why the Turks chose Islam, the error of Judaism and Christianity, and doesn't bother teaching the eastern religions other than that they're all idolaters. Turks identify themselves as modern Muslims because they drink alcohol and try have sex with any foreign winab that moves, but won't touch pork. Turkey's 'secular' by Muslim standards but still in the dark ages by western standards.
45. Erdogan propaganda only similar to Hitler..
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome-Italy   (09.26.11)
Turkey should be kicked out of NATO immediately,this man is acting insane,just like hitler and Iranian president and his comment shoul be taken seriously ..... EU and US should start watching very close to the Turkish Madmen raising has the new Hitler..he need to be stopes before is too late.....
46. #8;MadMax, THEN WHY....
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.26.11)
The funny thing is, if you guys always stick together in "difficult times" why does Erdogan feel he has to blackmail your country? Why does he feel it's necessary to twist your arm and threaten your country? It simply doesn't add up to your perception of events.
47. 8-Yes Max, your quite mad.
Ypip ,   Canada   (09.26.11)
48. erdogan
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (09.26.11)
dont mess with Israel, because you will regret it.
49. A Turkish Friend. All I write are the facts
David Israel ,   New York USA   (09.26.11)
You can read them oin Turkish news papers like Hurriyet, Milliyet yourself. Just read Yilmaz Ozdil's archives in Hurriyet or Kadri Gursel, Semih Idiz in Milliyet. Ben onlarin yalancisiyim. As far as extreme right governments: In Israel people can freely react and bring change without being afraid from being videotaped in their privacy of their homes or their phone conversations being recorded to be used as incriminating evidence against them. You have more journalists then China in jail icluding Ahmet Sik, Mustafa balbay, Nedim Sener also a Harvard recognized medical professor Ahmet Haberal who pioneered organ transplants in Turkey. Another doctor Turkan Saylan was fighting cancer when she was sent to jail for opposing AKP and released only a few weeks before she passed away. Israel extended to Turkey her hand in supporting Turkey with the Cyprus issue while the Arabs were agasint Turkey (they still are). Israel influenced USA in the lifting of the crippling US embargo of 1974 (I played my role in that). Israel didnot kick out any Arabs from their homes the way Turks destroyed thousands of Kurt villages in the 1990ies. As a result today there are over 1 million Israeli Arabs. However Mahmut Abbas recently said that teh Palestinian Arab state will not have any Jews in it. Isn't this real apahatheit? There is nothing to be jealous of Turkey for Israel. (maybe a little jealous for the Beautiful Cesme beach but that's all) I am not an enemy of Turkey. I am a strong supporter of Ataturkcu secular democratic republic.
50. One more thing my Turkish friends
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (09.26.11)
Why is Erdogan asking Azerbeyjan to joind him AGAINST ISRAEL? This is a clear hostility towards Israel. He could have simply asked for support in Turkey's legitimate demands but when he said STAND UP WITH US AGAINST ISRAEL. this is hostility and even warmongering. I think Bulent EWcevit went to history as the KIBRIS FATIHI. Erdogan wants a title similar to this but I can assure you that he will never get it from Isarel.
51. reply
Tey ,   USA   (09.28.11)
Better mention about Armenian occupation of Azerbaijan. Stop that occupation. And stop pretending that Armenians share anything with Israel or Jews.
52. With this atitude, Turkey will never join EU or WEST
Uncle Sam   (09.28.11)
Erdogan is separating Turkey from friendly and peaceful countries. He is sounding like the rest of the dictators. He uses the good old fashioned way to manage the mass by spreading hate and fear. Just like Hitler and others do and did.
53.  Turkey to Azerbaijan: Stand with us against Israel
QAQASH ,   CANADA   (10.02.11)
We, Azerbaijanis, are and will stand for Israel. sorry Erdo
54. speak for yourself
MadMax ,   Toronto, Canada   (10.12.11)
whatever your background and intentions are, speak for yourself. I will personally stand with Turkiye when there is a need. don't be spineless and have principals. its nor always about money and benefits....
