Bananiot, it is a well known fact that the Turks secured (before the New York agreement was concluded,) that Kofi Annan's arbitration would have taken into consideration and would have facilitated their so-called red lines, through the Americans and probably through the meeting Erdogan had with Bush a few days earlier. Otherwise, Erdogan wouldn't have given his orders to Denkatsh to accept it, knowing that in such a blank check scenario, without the appropriate assurances from the US, his head would have been chopped by the generals in Turkey. This is something that even the stones, set aside those with a gram of brain know already! As for Fried, perhaps if he was drunk, he may have let his tongue to slip a bit. I do not know, nor I was there; nevertheless, I do not care as I do not need Daniel Fried's revelations to have an opinion as to what happened around the Annan plan, and the role the Americans (and the British) had played! And yes, the alleged thing with D. Fried occurred after the referendums, therefore it did not play a role in the outcome! You are just distrorting things!
