33. in the words of anton's favorite leader

the eu doesn't accept turkey for a veru good reason. you are in the process of islamization of your country. the buffoon called erdogan is putting lots of people, intellectuals, army and journalists in jail because they disagree with him. you do not therefore have a democratic country, not to mention that you are a third world country by mentality and aspect. the experience that the european nations like germany has with the turkish muslim people that immigrated to germany from turkey is not positive at all because they brought neither skill, only primitivism, souk mentality and a culture that is extremely foreign to the eu. not to mention that they rely strictly on government handouts and produce zero for the german economy. they are a burden, not an asset.
35. At the end it must be heathy....otherwise...
Calabi ,   Sydney Aust   (07.06.13)
When a society is very sick and lost the sense to live and think normal then democracy is = to anarchy! Well a sober army is the best for all till all at least a poor man can have a free sleep !
36. Bennett beware
Avramele   (07.05.13)
Both a halachic state and a sharia state violates democracy.
37. to # 20 , # 29 , # 30. CAGLAR !
Mark ,   T.a.Israel   (07.06.13)
WHAT MEANS THE ECONOMY IS GOOD( WHICH IS NOT TRUE ) IF YOU DO NOT HAVE FREE PRESS , FREE OPPOSITION AND SPECIALLY FREE JUSTICE ! I SUPPOSE YOU ARE JOKING OR OTHERWISE POOR OF PROTEIN BECAUSE YOU EAT ONLY RICE AND BEANS AND HUMUS THAT ERDOGAN GAVE FREELY IN ORDER TO GAIN VOTES !
38. #31 Caglar
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (07.06.13)
Demonstrations are part of a real democracy ( Not ileri democracy) . Here in the USA we had occupy Wall Street demonstrations a year ago. Mostly peaceful. Occasionally some hoodlums tried to disturb the peace and the Police reacted. However they did not use TOMAs nor did they spray pepper gas into the face of people. (remember the Turkish Woman in red?) and yet in the USA some police officers were punished for using excessive forse. In Turkey the murderer police officer of Ethem Sarisuluk is free while life saving Professor doctor Surgeon Ahmet Haberal an elected member of the TBMM is in Jail. Having all that injustices and lack of freedom it is only natural that people will demonstrate. They did it in Egypt recently they did it in Pakistan against Musharraf. Secular Turks tolerated this despotism of AKP way too long.
39. #. 15. Anton. The ZAZA !
Mark ,   T.a. Israel   (07.06.13)
Every time you write a talkback I say again this ZAZA will say a nonsense ! IF YOU ARE A ZAZA AS YOU PROCLAIMED IN ONE OF YOUR TALKBACK YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE TURKS INVADED YOUR COUNTRY CENTURIES AGO AND SENT YOUR PEOPLE AROUND ANATOLIA IN ORDER TO DOMINATE YOU JUST AS THE ROMANS DID THIS TO OUR PEOPLE !

Gady ,   Mexico City   (07.06.13)
In Mexico we say: when you see the beards of your neighbor being cut, put yors to soak. This smels like Tirkish summer, right dog - an?

42. To: Eshek Caglar abu Kelb
Yanky Pipchick ,   Charm City Baltimore   (07.06.13)
Next leader in Turkiye will be: Mr. Eshek -- Turkey will fall and people will fight each other. 99% cannot read a newspaper even.

caglar ,   antalya TURKİYE   (07.06.13)
we are not mongol..we are Turk read some history differences between Turks and mongols..
44. Recep Tayyip Erdogan giving the west lessons on democracy !
(07.06.13)
Did i get that right. The African Union as the bastion of democracy according to the democrat Erdogan. Democracy also means sticking to a deal you made with Israel to normalise relations . Yes that was all talk as well. You can't even command the respect of your own people , so stop preaching to the west and focus on your own problems at home./
45. above
moishe   (07.06.13)
Erdogan and his Islamafaschists are next to be outed by fed up electorate and the military. only way to get rid of these nuts. its only a matter of time.
46. To Caglar
Sergey ,   Tel Aviv   (07.06.13)
I am sorry to inform you but in most arab states there is an alcohol and clubs. It does not represent the democracy or freedom. Erdogan is the mother of double standards. He has no right to speak about double standards. There are jews in Iran so what? They used for purpose of propaganda. European economy now in decline it will recover. The question what is going to be with Turkey if it will not leave the path of double standards that it stands on. Your PM managed to fight with almost everyone. He is like a child with mental disorder.
47. I can understand his concerns
Avi Miszrachi ,   Modiin   (07.06.13)
Of course Erdogan cannot legitimize the popular uprising In Egypt because he knows by doing so would be committing political suicide. Erdogan's biggist fear is that the same will happen to him in the not too distant future.Wholesale jailing of journalists who oppose the ruling party's policies was the first step to his inevitable demise.
48. Democracy and undemocratic means
Constantin ,   Bacau,Romania   (07.06.13)
"Democracy can only be built at ballot box," said Erdogan.Hitler rose to power at ballot box and many other dictators after him, democracy sometimes can be defended only by undemocratic means.In this case behind the army actions are millions of people.
49. Erdogan
A V ,   London UK   (07.06.13)

georgette ,   armenia   (07.06.13)
You are bot Mongols, but you are proud of Cengiz Han. Tou are not Kurds, but you are proud of Selahattin Eyubi. So, have you a real identity other than fluctuating between Kemalism and Islamism?
51. to # 38
dogan ,   turkey   (07.06.13)
Demonstration not means thwor molotov coctails (petrol bomb) to polices and to civil peoples. Break windows of shops and cars belong to civil peoples. Drink alchols in holy mosques etc. These was what turkish protesters done. You support this ?

53. Oh for god's sake Erdogen !!!
Mike ,   NZ   (07.06.13)
Shut up !!! you are not important in middle eastern affairs !!
54. He love cheap politics.....
Calabi ,   Sydney Aust   (07.06.13)
If he did not go cheap politic (religion) will persist because that is how he survive. Someone who support terrorist demanded and received apology from Israel. Well who know his next step is going to be the same boat to gaza, with himself onboard.
55. A poem for ERDOGAN !
Mark ,   T.a. Israel   (07.06.13)
