Even EU member state recognise that the facade of secularism is a poor attempt at disguising a military dictatorship.
Even the British know that the guarantees are not worth the paper they are wriiten on especially in this day and age.
In the post cold war world, Turkey should be reducing its military surley?
Really, funny they spend most of their time in the camps practicing shooting at silhouette of GC soldiers and tanks.
Funny old game. I have not seen any control of the TCs via the army.
Given the scabby "police force" in the Occupied Areas are in the pay of, and under the control of the Turkish Army surprised you ain't seen any of them around.
You know the "police" who tear-gassed the teacher's demo a few weeks ago, but guess you didn't see that. Did you miss it??
Is that what they did when the TCs rebelled and 60000 marched. Eroglu is in charge now. I thought you guys were very pleased that he came to power, or did I read your posts wrong.
Also hear you can't get in to Louciribleedingciginia without showing your ID and backside to the nice Turkish Army camped outside.
Your eyesight must be bad mate.
