Just pointing out how stupid countries can be sometimes. The case was thrown out of court in the end.

More disturbing is the ban on Turkish organisations in Greece that stops them using the word Turkish in their title. They can be Greek Muslims but not Turkish........ :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:


What do you want them to be called Greek-Turks? :?

Anyway we are not discussing Greece as that is just another EU fellow member country ... but Turkey is the enemy invader and hence of more interest to Cyprus Forum ...

But here, wise up on all the fantastic privileges they enjoy, none reciprocated to any of the Greek minorities in Turkey ...

Great! as long as you do not want to know who you are. Like African Americans......British Indians. British Greeks. British Turks.

It is the way of Greeks to try to wipe out all other nationalities and claim there inventions and prowess as their own. Not ever happy to share. :roll: :roll:


They are taught in Turkish in schools Zan .... stop being pathetic!

BTW: Do tell what Turkish inventions the Greeks claim as their own?


I don't know..They have all been swallowed up by Greekness........... :lol:

Turkey bans biologist Richard Dawkins' website

Ankara - Turkish internet users have been blocked via a court order from accessing the site of prominent British biologist Richard Dawkins after complaints from lawyers for Islamic creationist author Adnan Oktar, the website of Turkish television station NTV reported on Wednesday.

A court in Istanbul ordered that Turk Telekom block access to the site and since the weekend Turkish internet users seeking the site have been redirected to a page that says in Turkish 'access to this site has been suspended in accordance with a court decision'.

NTV reported that Oktar complained he and his creationist book 'Atlas of Creation' had been defamed by comments made by Dawkins on the site.

'I am at a loss to reconcile the expensive and glossy production values of this book with the breathtaking inanity of the content,' Dawkins, a distinguished advocate of the theory of evolution, wrote on his website in July referring to the Atlas of Creation.

The book has caused controversy not just through its advocation of creationism but also through how thousands of copies of book were distributed to schools in a number of European countries.

Oktar has used the Turkish courts on a number of occasions, the latest being earlier this year when he attempted to have Dawkins' book The God Delusion banned in Turkey on the basis that it was insulting religion but a Turkish court threw the case out.

In August 2007, Oktar, who writes under the pen name Harun Yahya, convinced a Turkish court to block access to millions of web blogs using the Wordpress.com hosting service after finding that a number of blogs carried libellous comments.

In May, Oktar was found guilty of creating an illegal organization for personal gain and sentenced to three years imprisonment. He is appealing the decision.

Turkey has contributed the bottom-end of the scale of pretty much everything, which we can now observe to appreciate the top… for without darkness how can we ever appreciate light?

Once again Umit, don't let this imposter fool you. He's been reading up on GR's past posts about each member. He's a saddo who's attached an exclamation mark to the name Get Real and is now pretending its him.

Disgusting behaviour if you ask me. :roll:
