David Israel ,   New York, USA   (05.12.13)
Marcelo; The AKP is already in the process of giving the PKK and the Kurts the south east Turkey. If something drastic does not happen Turkey will be divided in about 10 years. However my question is: Is this a good thing for EU and the USA?
32. To: David Israel at No. 31
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.12.13)
Given the increasing Islamicization of Turkey, yes, it's a very good thing for the EU and the USA. It will cause the United States -- the driving force behind NATO -- to finally realize that Turkey is not a dependable member of NATO, and kick Turkey to the curb.
33. my condolences

34. Affendi Erdogan & Terrorism
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (05.12.13)
Dear Sir, What exactly are you going to do in response to such acts? This sort of barbaric acts started and nourished, instigated and executed by your honourable next door neighbours the one and only Islamic holinesses the Ayatollahs and assistant Ayatollahs who in the name of Allah have brought misery, death and destruction not only to Persia but much of the middle east and other parts of the world as well. These people are not only a shame to the human race but also to Islam. True Islam is thought by a Persian Scholor and poet by the name of Rumi who is worshipped all over the world and is buried in Konia Turkey. Why don't you help and cooperate fully with the Israelis to destroy the root of the problem which is the Ayatollah's Regime in Iran (Persia). The terrorism has reached your land too and it is about time to act in a civilized ans rational manner. STOP CRITICISING THE ISRAELI'S and STOP SUCKING UP TO ARABS AS WELL.
35. Casus belli
Larry ,   Northridge ,usa   (05.12.13)
I wonder if this bombing occurred in a Kurdish part of iTurkey. This bombing would kill two birds for erdogen. He gets rid of some Kurds, and has a casus belli for invading syria. If none of this works, then, as was suggested, he can always blame Israel.
36. David
anton ,   istanbul   (05.12.13)
something like that wont happen david. i give you my words as for your question eu wants turkey divided yet i dont see same inclination from usa they have a partner they work with long years now, again with eu its whole diffrent story
37. Will you ask for an apology +restitution

(05.12.13)
i wonder how long you turk muslims will take to accuse israel of this terror in your backward turkish village.
39. Sarah B Hit the nail on the head.....
Avi Wi ,   Netanya   (05.12.13)
40. Splitting Up Turkey
FreddyNYC ,   NYC USA   (05.12.13)
Of course Turkey should give the Kurds back their land in Turkey. Is "two lands for two peples" only for Israel?
41. #18
(05.12.13)
so, anton from turkey. if you claim that the pkk is a terrorist group, DOEN'T ISRAEL HAVE A RIGHT TO CLAIM HAMAS AND HIZBULLAH ARE ALSO TERRORIST GROUPS? AS WELL AS YOUR TURKISH IHH. of course if these terror groups bomb turkish citizens and turkish innocents, they are terrorist. but when the terrorists in hamas and hizbullah also bomb and kidnap and torture and kill jews and israelis in israel and aboad, they are not also terrorist? what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. do not practice double standards here, turk.
42. 40 people died! I extend my deepest sympathy
American girl ,   USA   (05.12.13)
to the families of the killed and injured. I hate this violence and the cowardice that it represents. I'm sorry that it happens anywhere, in any nation.
43. #4, you're right, it's your business
Jacob E ,   Holon, Israel   (05.12.13)
Just like how we defend our country is our business. So you guys can stay out of that too. We're just saying it helps not to be a hypocrite. And I just had a damn good cup of coffee. Arabian Mocha Java blend from America. and a few hours after I get to work I'll have a very strong turkish. It doesn't matter and has nothing to do with anything.
44. Rosh Balata
fibonacchi ,   us   (05.12.13)
feel sorry for the people who paid with their life for the arrogance of the idiot in the helm. every village has an idiot and Turkey got two of them a PM and a FM. they can keep haffing and puffing and turkey will pay the price.
