31. Talk is cheap, Syria and Iran are getting expensive.
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (02.02.13)
all talk and no action unless it's against their own unarmed people.
32. Turkish FM comment
Narn ,   Yabizniz   (02.02.13)
Allow Turkey into EU? With this kind of talk from a gov. official? Never.
33. Turkish Hyprocricy
Brian ,   Cincinnati, USA   (02.02.13)
Turkey often sends its bombers to bomb Kurdish sites in Iraq... does this not constitute an attack on the sovereignty of another Muslim nation? Why isn't Iraq allowed to respond to Turkish aggression?
34. I thought all Arabs are stupid
David ,   On this planet   (02.02.13)
All those wasted years of Western influence did not changer a thing . Barbarians do not change, they have no dignity to worry about.
35. Ally?
max ,   usa   (02.02.13)
Turkey is NOT an ally of the West and may just be like the Trojan Horse or worse, an Ally of Terrorists!
36. Davutoglu contradicting his own policies
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (02.02.13)
Currently Turkish policy vis a vis Syria is to support the rebels against Esad. and his military. Turkey is supplying the rebels with weapons as well as hosting the rebels in Turkey. That makes Esad Turkey's enemy Israel attacked Esad's Syrian forces which would make Turkey and Israel on the same side of this conflicts. However Mr. Davutoglu is so much blinded with his hatred of Israel and Jews that he can easily contradict himself.
37. Message to Davutoglu
Maurice ,   Montreal   (02.02.13)
It is because Syria, just like Turkey, is SCARED of Israel's capabilities and courage! By the way, you have just shown that you are the biggest hypocrite of all!
38. have you ever noticed that all muslim
Barney ,   USA   (02.02.13)
countries are all talk about "honor" this "honor" that. all they do to defend their "muslim" honor is kill their daughters and each other. they don't mess with Israel unless they can do so behind the women and children.
39. Turkeys true Personality ?
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (02.02.13)
I Quote - The Turkish Minister insisted that Turkey will not stand by as Israel attacks a Muslim country. Comment - HASHEM will take Turkey on Her Words. Bad for You Turkey !. Arn.Sweden.
40. won't stand by..
danLondon ,   london   (02.02.13)
Very true. Just look at the massive Turkish reaction when Uk/France bombed Libya, US/UK went into Afghanistan, Uk/US went into Iraq. Go turkeys!
41. It's not about Israel.
Peter ,   Hungary   (02.02.13)
This comment is not about Israel at all! Davutoglu just playing his cards to further weaken the Assad regime. And on the 'Muslim' street the cheapest method is using Israel, and making demagogue quotes like 'they kill women instead of attacking Israeli aircrafts'...
42. Bla bla bla
Ikese ,   Abuja Nigeria   (02.02.13)
If Assad couldnt do a thing about Israeli strike why didnt help them out and talking nonesense turks. If you think its your fight bring it on and stop talking.
43. well said number 4
Ronaldo ,   UK London   (02.02.13)
You could not have phrased it better...
44. The hypocrisy is unbelievable!!
Jayjay ,   Israel   (02.02.13)
HAsnt Turkey been bombing Syria too??
45. Turkic Logic!!!
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (02.02.13)
I feel that the best way to describe TURKIC LOGIC is by a JOKE!!! 2 Turkish friends meet up. A to B: "What have you been up to lately?" B: "I have been attending LOGIC Classes." A: "What is LOGIC?!" B: "It is difficult to explain, however, I will give you an example." A: "Ok." B: "Do you have an aquarium in your house?" A: "Logic tells us that you must have FISH in your house!" B: "Can you give me another example please?" A: "Are your children well looked after and you have a happy home life?" B: "Yes!" A: "LOGIC tells us that you have a Good Wife!" B says: "NOW, I do understand, thank you!" Some time later B meets C who is a mutual friend with A. C: "Have not seen A in a long time!" B: "He is attending LOGIC classes." C: "What is LOGIC! Can you give me an example?" B: "Do you have an aquarium in your house?" C: "No!" B: "LOGIC tells us that your wife must be a whore!!!" Have a nice day our Turkish Friends!
46. the man is quite mad
c   (02.02.13)
islam seems to render its practitioners quite mad. political islam is a threat to world peace.
47. gobble ,gobble
ELIas ,   usa   (02.02.13)
turkey talk...
48. Why is Turkey allowed into NATO?
Sidney ,   USA   (02.02.13)
Its FM has announced that its primary loyalty is to other Muslim countries. Ironically we gave them Patriots to defend themselves against another Muslim country.
49. LOL!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.02.13)
Assad is very well aware what will happen to his country if he "throws a pebble." Of course, Turkey is more than welcome to test Israel's mettle. It won't go well for the Turks, but -- hey -- there is no cure for stupid.
50. Turkey are troublemakers
(02.03.13)
The Turks should look at themselves and their history first, before meddling in other countries affairs. How many Muslims have they, themselves killed? How many Muslims have they mistreated? Remember the Kurdish people and the Armenians? Even though they try to deny and disassociate themselves from these incidents, they still happened. But here it was ok, because it was Turkey who was the perpetrator. The Turks are two faced. They show you a fake, nice face now, but the true face eventually does come out. Turkey are very busy, trying to ignite a war against Israel. Not for political reasons. No! This whole thing now is about faith, about religion! They have become increasingly Islamic and anyone, particularly the Jewish believers and Christians are a thorn in their eyes. Besides the Turks see themselves as being such an important country. They constantly have something to whine about and to poke their noses into world affairs. In actual fact, Turkey is not as important as they think and wish they were. All they have is a BIG mouth.
51. Turkeys inaction when Israel Pirates killl 9
lydia ,   Brisbane   (02.03.13)
When Israel pirates boarded Turkish vessel in int. waters and summarily executed 9 Turks confiscated their valuables and impounded the vessels where was Davutoglu complaining about Turkey's inaction?
52. And this is a NATO Foreign Minister?
Vlad   (02.03.13)
Sounds more like an Arab one.
53. Davutoglu, Erdogan: 2 bottom-feeders if there ever were some
Rafi ,   US   (02.03.13)
54. basically Davutoglu is saying Turkey would be pleased if...
Rafi ,   US   (02.03.13)
Syria (Assad regime) and Israel would be at war, including the use of missiles that would devastate populations on both sides... this would be a good thing - and something that is lacking from what is currently going on in the region? ... and as a means to restore 'Muslim pride'? US Congress, EU are you listening? this is a sane, responsible leader? a member of NATO ? is he really any better than Ahmadinajab or al-Qaida ?
55. Turkey
David Asleson ,   Minneapolis USA   (02.03.13)
Why didn't turkey stop Syria from killing 70,000 civilians.
56. Muslim problems again
Allan ,   Brooklyn NY   (02.03.13)
FM of Turkey obviously has strong need to divert attention to Israel from his own country's internal woes.Always trying to clean up the dirt in someone else's backyard. Every war in the middle east resonates the same issues time and time again sing the war of independence 1948 . Yell, scream, curse it appears to help make you feel better Mr PM. There is a kindergarten around the corner where the teacher helps the the little kiddies feel better after 'issues' they sometimes have, she is available for a consult, and for you such a VIP, no charge. How does that song go from so long ago;'when will they ever learn?' i guess not...lol
57. pirates
allan ,   Brooklyn NY   (02.03.13)
Lydia and of course you were there to witness all these executions, you are really a moron who vis seriously bored, grow up before life catches up with you. you talk to hear your own moron views that have no bearing on the truth. If you are so bold and care so much get on the next vessel ,stand up and be counted unless of course you are afraid!!!lol imagine if a ship was bound for Brisbane you would be in Sydney ..
58. What did you do when the Syrians shot down your Panthom F-4?
Canadian   (02.03.13)
Mr. Demikulu, Asad knows the smell of defeat.
59. erdogan, gul and dovetogolu
geroge   (02.03.13)
the justice party of the the 3 stoogews and buddies of ehud olmert is rotten to the core and the army needs to throw all 3 of them insolitary confinement. The stuff coming out of the mouths of all three, are more than lies and is the reason why turkey will never be admitted to europe. Half of turkey, the secular half is reasonable, and the moslem half are lying, treacherous hezbollah masses. It is plain that what the middle east needs is a new republic of kurdistand, made up of 144 million kurds and its territory that turkey sits on, a piece of iran, and syria. I call on the kurds to proclaim their own country. Then we can have peacee.
60. germ warfare
Someone ,   USA   (02.03.13)
"...biological weapons research center that was reportedly flattened..." Just wondering how many pathogens and which ones were potentially spewed to who knows where from the bomb blast's shock wave....OR... if there's any way possible that Israel can verify all pathogens were killed in the blast...they're really tinyyyyyy little fellas that can easily become airborne!
