Jacob ,   United States MN   (11.19.12)
The Iranian Minister reported that Turkey's or at least Erdogan's agenda is a neo-Ottoman one. That is, a new Caliphate to conquer Israel, Spain, Constantinople. Yeah. Plus, I would say from my ability to read his party's Arabic site that neo-Ottomanism could be a driving factor.
32. Erdogan focuses on Israel and the flotila
Abu Yusuf El Dugri ,   ME   (11.19.12)
Erdogan must be blind when it comes to Killing of 1.5 millions of Armenians, Kurds and Syrians. He never called Asad terorist.
33. We should arm the Kurdish rebels
Alex   (11.19.12)
Maybe they can bring down this lunatic...
34. Erdogan, Erdogan
Valdi ,   Germany   (11.19.12)
Dear Minister President of Turkey, there is a Russian saying: Don't get mad at an ill, insane patient. Erdogan, no body is mad with you. We wish you soon recovery. All best from Germany.
35. Turkey - Israel relations
Michael ,   Chicago   (11.19.12)
Turkey's prime minister continues to spout his anti-Israel rhetoric. No sign of any realistic democratic opposition in the country. If Israel continues to provide defense upgrade services to Ankara's military, it's going to come back one day to bit it on the ass.
36. oh stop the hate already
joseph ,   usa   (11.19.12)
its like 7th century talk, drop the hate and focus on improving the lives of your ppl, more energy to education and economy--welcome to modern world turkey!--choose peace and win a future for your arab children.
37. Ergoan should look in the mirror
BEN JABO (MACVHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (11.19.12)
when thinks about what Turkey did the Armenian's, slaughtering them by the hundreds of thousands
38. Response in two words. Armenian's & Kurds
(11.19.12)
39. Transference
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (11.19.12)
"the redirection of attitudes and emotions towards a substitute, such as towards the analyst during therapy." In this case, Erdogan is redirecting the Turks slaughter of 1.5 million Armenians, Darfur, Syria, etc to the Israelis. However, he's consciously or subconsciously referring to the crimes of Turkey and/or other Muslim massacres and genocides.
40.  Pandering to the Muslim street. He doesn't believe this.
naro ,   nyc   (11.19.12)
Erdogan wants Turkey to become the leader of the Muslim nations and he is therefore pandering to the ignorant and hate filled Muslim masses. He is going too far, and alienating intelligent people of all religions and persuasions. He is turning himself into a caricature of a buffoon.
41. Pure Dictator
Ariel ,   Netanya   (11.19.12)
He is just continuing to try to be the leader of the Muslim world. If so, what about the thousands killed by Assad ??? He is one of the biggest hypocrites that we saw. When he was using our drones against the pour Kurdish kids it was also ok with him and now that he doesn’t have any he is likely losing control over them. He should first check his backyard before talking. Putin, Stalin, Hitler Assad and Erdogan are the same. Mass Murderers.
42. erdogan the racist that he is
katil   (11.19.12)
erdogan whose people butchered the armmenians and kurds complains about 75 gazan terror killed when next door 35000 have been killed by fellow moslems. What a bullshitter! assad has shown erdogan to be a gutless wimp who has only destroyed turkey's reputation.
43. xxxx
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (11.19.12)
Why didn't you post my comment?
44. Suprised!!
James ,   The World   (11.19.12)
If i lived in an open air prison, i would riot too!!

THEY DREAM OF BEING THE LEADER OF THE ARAB WORLD. however, they are turks, not arabs. so, arab sunis and shia are not interested in turkey leading them. turks are not arabs....but unfortunately, they act like them.
46. 36
(11.19.12)
turks are not arab
47. So much for him.
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, USA   (11.19.12)
The fool continues his Islamic radical courtship. I wonder when Turkey will wake up and throw this fool out? How can a supposedly civilized country tolerate such outright lies? Obviously, the Turks aren't as smart as I once supposed.
48. Rich coming from the genocidal Turkish state
SG ,   Teaneck   (11.19.12)
49. can you say ARMENIA
real vision ,   usa   (11.19.12)
What a putz and blind he is. Muslims are killing muslims worldwide without the slightest bit of conscience. If hamas was loose in Israel they would, like most islamic terrorists, kill indiscrimately. Islam is cancer on humanity esp with leaders like erdogan
50. long live the kurds
real vision ,   usa   (11.19.12)
erdogan is a dog
51. Erdogan Rhetoric
Jim Hudson ,   UAE   (11.19.12)
A Turkish PM that threatens Syria after a mortar round lands in a Turk village buts spouts total nonsense while hundreds of rockets are launched from Gaza into Israel. Israel has every right to defend itself. Want to stop the Israeli air campaign then stop the Hamas rocket attacks.
52. Erdogan
Jose ,   Seville,Spain   (11.19.12)
There's one thing these despot dictators never learn in history, there downfall is guaranteed and will happen.
53. What a cynicism
Andre ,   Berlin, Germany   (11.19.12)
Human rights in Turkey have been disregarded. This country wants to become a member of European Community. I would love to laugh if it were not so sad would be. I hope that Turkey will never be a member of Europe. Such statements will disqualify the Turks.
54. 37
(11.19.12)
more like 1.5 million armenians slaughtered and starved by the turks. hundreds of thousands kurds also slaughtered by turks in modern times as we speak.
55. Erdogan
Ross Gallen ,   Henderson, USA   (11.19.12)
It's time to go on the offensive and set history right. The Turks have the blood of the Armenians on their hands. For too long we have band aided over their evil conduct, because we did not want to harm their sensitivities. We need to open the book, read the historical record and brand Erdogan and his kind for what they are. The apple does not fall far from the tree. Erdogan represents the face of evil Muslim extremism. He is no different than the Muslims who murdered the Armenians. The fact that he wears a suit and western dress does not make him a democrat. He has aligned himself with evil terrorists who will do everything they can to destroy western civilization. He constantly engages in the practice of telling the big lie. Newspapers and reporters enable him and his propaganda.
56. Erdogan: Israel is a terrorist state
George Weiss ,   Teaneck, USA   (11.19.12)
These statements fro Erdogan defy logic and can only bee seen as purely political, Turkey itself has no qualms about pursuing and bombing Kurds across their borders with their neighbors. Is this terrorism on Turkey's part ot can only Israeli be a terrorist state? What nonsense.
57. Erdogan whining about people who don't
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (11.19.12)
care about his murdering buddies in Gaza again. Learn some civility Erdogan. Quit shooting rockets into Israel with your terrorist buddies in Gaza......and then maybe.....someone will listen to you with some compassion. Muslims stir up this crap every day of the week for some guy called Allah. We in turn...are sick of him and your excuses to kill infidels because of your loon squad that follows this cult.
58. Turks oppress Armenians, Greeks, Turks, etc.
Ara Petrosian ,   USA   (11.19.12)
Yeah, the Turks oppress their minorities, i.e, the ones that haven't been murdered or expelled. But, that's OK for the Turks. They only get upset about the Jews. The Armenians would gladly trade places with Israel's Arab minority. Even while the Arabs are at war with Israel, the Jews treat Arabs better than the Turks treat the Armenians, Greeks, Turks, etc. Erdogan is a sick, irrational, fanatic; he dresses in a suit and tie but he is a seething, petulant, hateful, arrogant clown.
59. 'Tis The Season
emanon ,   USA   (11.19.12)
Turkey: a large flightless bird of limited intelligence that tastes great when roasted and served with Cranberry dressing. Gobble, gobble!
60. Turky is the biggest terrorist state in the Middle East
Kurdistan Libre!!!!!   (11.19.12)
