The guy is absolutely brilliant. I love his novels and his Journalistic works!


Paphitis- so you love Christopher Hitchens' novels do you ? Could you name a couple for us ?

Hold on a minute, Christopher Hitchens hasn't written any novels. Still, Paphitis, don't let that stop you telling us which are your favourite Christopher Hitchens' novels ?

Cypriots need to thank Erdogan because A LOT of the American press now are mentioning Cyprus and Turkey's hypocrisy. I mean, really hard hitting articles like this one below.

Small snippet:


Of course, Turkey tolerates no criticism about its own violations of human rights in suppressing its Kurdish population. It lectures Israel about occupied land but is silent about its sponsorship of the Turkish absorption of much of Greek Cyprus. It laments a divided Jerusalem but says nothing about the segregation of Nicosia.

Erdogan often accuses Israel of human rights violations, but to this day no Turkish government has ever acknowledged culpability for the genocide of the Armenians. Far from it: Not long ago, Erdogan threatened to deport Armenians from Turkish soil.

Where and how does all this end?

Turkey's new ambitions and ethnic and religious chauvinism are antithetical to its NATO membership. The United States should not be treaty-bound to defend a de facto ally of Iran or Syria, which are both eager to obtain nuclear weapons. European countries foresaw the problem when they denied Turkey membership in the now fragile European Union, fearful that Anatolian Islamists would have unfettered transit across European borders.

In response, the United States should make contingency plans to relocate from its huge Air Force base at Incirlik -- a facility that Turkey has in the past threatened to close.

Erdogan Deserves Medal As Fake Friend of Palestinians

In the past week the world witnessed an amazing performance by a government leader that even the most accomplished Hollywood actor could not match!

Turkey’s Prime Minister deserves an Oscar for presenting himself as a great humanitarian and protector of Palestinians. The people of Gaza are certainly oppressed and deprived, but Erdogan is not their knight in shining armor! One cannot champion human rights with unclean hands!
This is the height of hypocrisy!

- How could Turkey blockade Armenia for 17 years and credibly call on Israel to lift its blockade of Gaza?

LOL

Interesting to see where you STOPPED quoting that article, halfway thro' a paragraph.

Here's the rest of that paragraph:

We should brace for new troubles in the Aegean region and Cyprus, as a bankrupt and often anti-American Greece is now alienated from both the United States and northern Europe -- and yet increasingly vulnerable to a return of Ottoman regional ambitions.


Didn't you like that bit?

If you read carefully, he is saying that Americans need to pay attention to Ankara's aggressive policies in the Aegean region and Cyprus. That quite a few Greeks are Anti-American isnt news to me. They simply have the same mentality as, dare i say, the Box head.
