Isac   (05.11.13)
tough guy what exactly are you going to do now. Last week to criticized Israel for the Syrian weapons bombing. Let's see if you got any balls or just talking to react "accordingly." Remember Schmerdogan, vile Antisemites like you and others will always be on the loosing side. Karma is a bitch!
2. Mr Erdogan what are you going to do about it?!!
(05.11.13)
3. Turkey
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (05.11.13)
The question is: Are you going to ask compensation for the families and a public apology? Are you scare of Syria? Are you blaming Israel? or you are going to do nothing about?
4. 3 jorge
anton ,   istanbul   (05.11.13)

Marcelo ,   Berlin / TLV   (05.11.13)
The PKK is not a terror group, they are freedom fighters and your country has to give them back their land!! Recognize the crime against the humanity against PKK and the people they represent!!
6. Possible scenario
Sagi   (05.11.13)
Turkey will respond vigorously and Israel's PM will issue a statement urging restraint. When restraint is not forthcoming then the PM's Office will issue a statement of condemnation and ask for an urgent session of the UN Security Council.
7. Jorge
Merca ,   Barcelona.SPAIN   (05.11.13)
A fourth possibility would be having a meeting with Nasrallah and Ahmadinejad and thanking them for confronting Israel and helping Assad in the crushing of the syrian rebels.
8. Blame
LJ ,   Canada   (05.11.13)
I give them 24 hours before they can figure out a way to blame Israel for this
9. Strike Syrian military or get out of Kurd Lands
Bobby ,   TA   (05.11.13)
Turkey should respond in a limited military manner inside Syrian territory against military targets. If it is the job of akurdish insurgents then it suould be condemned and thos rebels terrorists must be brought to justice but the. Turkey should get out of Kurdish lands.
10. #4 Anton
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (05.11.13)
The possibility of "what we do about it is up to us" is a little confused. My understanding is that the Turkish government, will not do anything. Thank you for asking about the turkish coffee. I am always drinking COLADA that is CUBAN coffee. The y are much better and healthier that the turkish. You should try
11. Oh... Mr. Erdogan, you get in bed with terrorists and...
JC   (05.11.13)
12. Whatever is necessary !!! ???
Pasha   (05.11.13)
To stop any intervention to Syria's internal affairs. To expulse all the syrian refugees from Turkey and close its borders with Syria. No other valuable/necessary option for Erdogan ruled impotent Turkey.
13. 40 people died and you bullshit about politics
Emre ,   Istanbul   (05.11.13)
14. This is just buisness as usual for shite,
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (05.11.13)
Alwaite, Sunni. Like I've written before it's the national sport like baseball, basketball and football is for the U.S. It's good that they are keeping busy which means they leave Israel alone. I hope it's a very long season of self inflicted murder and meyhem before their world series, super bowl Islamic style.
15. As foretold!
John Prophet   (05.11.13)
This evil cannot be negotiated with or contained, it can only be destroyed. If not destroyed it will only spread Like cancer. Israel, by holding off while Washigton dithered away with "negotiations" (a fools errand) has put herself on the edge of the abyss! It is written!
16. rdogan slept with terror group Jabhet Nasra
turkman ,   istanbul   (05.11.13)
ةErdogan sleeps with a terrorist group Now feel the bite of terrorism Turkey, Syria flooded by bad groups with the help of Qatar and Saudi Arabia Now it has surplus Turkish cities And soon enough you will reach Qatar Saudi Arabia Bibigan also will not be safe he made a big mistake helping the terror group in syria
17. Turkey has no excuse.
Seth ,   USA   (05.11.13)
Turkey must exercise maximum restraint. They have no excuse to perform military operations in Syria! Also, they must end the occupation of Kurdish lands immediately.

anton ,   istanbul   (05.11.13)

19. This lot doesnt use Paintball Guns
(05.11.13)
20. What kind of human being
ChanahS ,   Israel   (05.11.13)
would bomb and kill poor innocent civilians in a backwater town - what on earth does anyone have to gain from this, other than to cause fear, mayhem and needless human suffering?
21. 10 jorge
anton ,   istanbul   (05.11.13)
we may do sometthing or not, whats important is to understand what is expected with this bombing ? and who will it benefit?, this two question will narrow down the list, i dont think syria did this at all, last thing they want is to give turks reasons thx for the tip ill try if i find it here ;)
22. Bomb blast kills 40
Tim ,   USA   (05.11.13)
Let’s be honest shall we. Two weeks from now all focus will be on how evil the Jews are for not giving up all their land back in 1924 when Trans Jordan was divided for the purpose of two states. These states were to be for the Jews, Israel and Jordan was for all the Palestinian peoples. Did I forget to mention this is also the Christians fault as well? World please do not think of Christians when you think of the USA. Our administration is Godless.
23. Israel condemd by Mr.Erdogan
Brandur ,   Faroe Islands   (05.11.13)
When Israel defended itself launshing an attack against missil deleavry to Hisballah, Erdogan condemded the attack. So Mr. Erdogan. Sit on your ass, and just look what happen to Turkey.
24. #12 I agree with you :-)))
Obsessive ,   Turkey   (05.11.13)
If demining is merged with agriculture, there is no other company that can do this besides the Israeli companies :-) June 2009. Israeli firms in Turkey border mine clearing bids. The winner can have the land along the Syrian border for agricultural use for 44 years. Three Israeli firms, Quadro, Redwing and Mott, together with agricultural firm Tahal, entered a bid and, despite heavy competition from others, appeared to have the best chances. Tahal was supposed to develop the agricultural land, and this was supposed to be done, according to Turkish media reports, together with the Calik group. Calik is headed by Berat Albayrak, Erdogan's son-in-law. Another valuable archive of Ynetnews. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3725581,00.html
25. so these 40 Turks weren't worth
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (05.11.13)
either an apology or compensation? Just the Erdogen paid thugs qualify for that dubious honor, right? Happy to see the Turks host their fellow brothers ( for how long and how many is the next question )
26. Is he actually trying to blame ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.11.13)
.... the Kurds? Personally, I think Erdogan ordered the attack himself. He needs some ammunition to bring with him to the United States. Putting Patriot batteries in Turkey isn't good enough. What Erdogan did is a war crime, by the way. But the Turks probably don't see it as such -- they have a long and storied (if despicable) history of massacring Turkish citizens. Having amassed a death toll well in excess of one million, what's forty-two more dead Turkish civilians to the Turks?
27. turkey
spookey ,   birmingham uk   (05.11.13)
where is this so called arab brother hood,seems to me only on sunny days arabs who needs them
28. Islamic terror visits Turkey
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (05.11.13)
islamic terror is like a cancer that spreads throughout the world. this cancer originated in the arabian peninsula. today it is sponsored by sunni saudis and shia iranians.
29. The road leads back to Iran
Cynthia ,   USA   (05.11.13)
Assad may have given the order but his henchmen are revolutionary guards and hezbollah. Khamenei called for jihad in Syria so Iran can destabilize and control Syria.
30. On the contrary, #17
Cameron ,   USA   (05.11.13)
Turks, as well as the Arab League, are to be encouraged to follow the Israelis in beginning to militarily act in Syria. Ensuring stability in Syria is the overriding responsibility and call of duty for all those states sharing Syrian borders.
