91. To #71: See Article 3 of Montevideo Convention on Rights and
Ibrahim ,   Turkey   (05.18.12)
Article 3 of Montevideo Convention on Rights and Duties of States (which is now part of International Customary Law) states that the "existence of states was a question of fact, while the recognition by other states was purely declaratory and not a determinative factor of statehood [sic]". Whether the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is recognised or not it is still a State under international law.

no one recognize northern cyprus except turkey. illegal occupation same like turkey. give back to the real owner of the land and go to your original hall in the far east

greek citizen ,   athens   (05.18.12)
turkey is not your land, this is occupied land and it does not belong to you people, your real land is in far east. give back the land to the real owner, same as your asking about palestinians. go home please

Proof, warmonger, proof. Where's it? No, nada, nothing.
95. #4 - the areas between Israel and Cyrprus
William ,   Israel   (05.18.12)
border on many parts, and its those areas that border each other that is referred to. You're obviously confused but I suspect it's self-imposed.
96. #20 - the only people hurt on the Mavi Marmara
William ,   Israel   (05.18.12)
were Armed Turks, and the UN Palmer's report and BBC's Panorama made specific note of that. While other boats with actual civilians saw NO injuries.
97. #20 - "they are all former Ottoman provinces anyway"
William ,   Israel   (05.18.12)
The keyword being "former", meaning your empire is long gone and will not be returning, no matter how you wish for it.
98. #20 - "Turkish military hasn't lost a single war"
William ,   Israel   (05.18.12)
well of course not when you battle against unarmed civilians in Armenia and Kurdistan. Other than those atrocities, what wars did the Turks really have except WWII in alliance with Hitler and yes - you guys lost.
99. #54 - The Guarator power didn't include
William ,   Israel   (05.18.12)
flooding occupied Cyprus with Turkish nationals and placing them on stolen Greek land there. That is a war crime and the major reason why your occupation is illigitimate regardless of the article you cite. Must be why no one except Turkey recognizes the occupation, just like Jordan in 1949 which only recognized its own illegal annexation and forced immigration of nationals.
100. #87mrc - I have compared
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (05.18.12)
Egypt's population is 11 million larger than Turkey's Egypt 84.milion Turkey 73 million We have already been through four major wars with Egypt and it's allies, they lost all of them Remember this 'NEVER AGAIN" Turkey decided to start the fight when they sent the Marvi Mamara into our waters, attempting to break the legal blockade we had on Gaza You're living in a fantasy world, the next war won't be a ground war, there won't be time for any troops from an outside country to travel here..It will be over in a few puffs mushroom clouds
101. #98 William - You left out another war
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.18.12)
Korean, which America and its allies, including Turkish, lost to North Korea & China
