It was not Turkey that did it, it was the Ottomans.

The Lausanne transition from “Ottoman Empire” to “Turkey” was just…

1. A change of the label.
2. A change of territorial arrangements.
3. A change of government.

…but the masses were pretty much the same… it’s the same people that continued with “Turkey”.

It was not Germany but the Nazis that conducted the Holocaust. But the German people have had to pay the price for this crime. Likewise the Turks, including the Cyprus variety.

Well alright then, the treaty was a waste of time. Perhaps it should be withdrawn and let the current armies sort out the current Turkish Armenian problem with Karabag then? And the Aegean Islands and we might as well throw Cyprus in the mix as you can't wait to take on the Turks.
Would you like that?

And the Nazis probably had 80-90% nationwide support!

Sod it! Sod it! Sod it!

Took half an hour to log in to CF to post the BBC report and MP beat me to it!!!!! Sod it!

Sorry, bill. I promise to let you post the next nail in the Turk Reich's coffin.

Thanks mate, you're very kind. Promise will make it a very rusty nail.

To pick on something GR posts about, it's also the same Predominant Mind-Set. Collections of people, Nations, don't change sometimes. We all talk about such things as National Characters don't we????

Often an amusing generalisation, but there's some truth in it.

The Germans paid fuck all. They gave some land to France, Poland and Checks. They offered Volkswagen to the Brits which were refused. The German and Japanese economies were built instead by the Americans with the Marshall Plan which is why they have been the strongest economies till China came along.

The price for what happened to Jewish people has been paid alright but it was by the Palestinians

We are taking on the Turks, dimwit. Every day we're finding new ways to bring the giant down. Only we're not dirtying our hands.

How's this for fuck all, you dimwit?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reparation ... ementation

West Germany paid Israel a sum of 3 billion marks over the next fourteen years; 450 million marks were paid to the World Jewish Congress. The payments were made to the State of Israel as the heir to those victims who had no surviving family. The money was invested in the country's infrastructure and played an important role in establishing the economy of the new state. The reparations would become a decisive part of Israel's income, comprising as high as 87.5% of the state income in 1956.
