Turkish minister publicly humiliates Cyprus 'minister'
25 Aug 08
The Turkish Minister of Transport, Binali Yildirim, has been accused of publicly bullying a senior member of the Turkish Cypriot administration in front of his subordinates.
During his recent visit to occupied Cyprus, Yildrim asked, in front of others, that the “minister of environment”, Mustafa Gokmen arrange the transfer of a plot of prime land from a local municipality to a nearby hotel.
Gokmen replied “we shall see, sir”, at which point Yildirim apparently fumed and barked “you will not see, you will do it”.
According to Ortam newspaper, after this instruction, Gokmen said nothing and turned his eyes to the ground.
Those who were present at the incident were left astonished and shocked.
One official who witnessed events said that there was "no justification" for the disgraceful episode.
The incident referred to land on which the Artemis Hotel is built and belongs to the self-styled municipality of occupied Galatia village
Disgusting...sorry for the message title but I think it sums up the attitude of the Turkish gangsters...
