However British Liberal Democrat Sir Graham Watson said he was "not surprised" at Turkey's reaction.
"What Cyprus is doing may be defensible legally", he said. "But it is politically inflammatory".
I wouldn't worry about the UK Liberal Democrats. They are long-time appeasers of Islamic fanaticism along with their Green brethren in the EU. A bunch of wimps and shallow-minded fools who believe it's best to stay quiet in the face of fascists and fanatics out of fear of provoking them. You see, the Liberal Democrats and their kind believe that Islam is justified in its assault on the West because of the West's colonial past. Idiots like this MEP are self-hating cowards who are no better than the British appeasers of fascism before WW2. It's a wonder fools like this don't blame the Poles for provoking the Nazis into attacking them. You'd think the British would have learned a lesson from their own history. No chance.
