Get Real...The Mongols were not cunning and efficient killers, neither are the Turks! If you look at any skirmishes the Turks have been involved with over the last, say 100 years, what have they done?

* WWI - sided with the Germans and got leathered in their own country.
* 1922 Turk Pogrom of Greeks in Asia Minor - killed shopkeepers in Anatolia.
* 1974 Cyprus - killed women, children, farmers, priests who had no defence,yet the Turks needed to be guarded by the Brits and Americans.
* 2010 Gaza - Turk army on board its own ship got leathered by a couple of Israeli commandoes.
* On-going - Turk Air Force fly sorties into Southern Iraq bombing innocent Kurds.

It seems they are hard as anything when faced against unarmed, inexperienced opponents but when the big guns come to play, they sh*t their pants.

There is nothing wrong with learning another language,

Why do you want to learn Turkish?

What benefit will you derive from learning Turkish over, French or spanish for example?

This is what I'm wondering... my Spanish is ok... my Greek could be better... but I'm kind of keen to join Special Ops...it seems to me the best way to end the occupation...

...go for it, anything that promotes dialog among Cypriots damages the interlocutors' strangle hold on the debate, (and the land). as a Greek, and Cypriot, this is to be applauded.

...make friends with good people who are also Cypriot, and let them tell vp, he is no Turk, just a "Turk", that is even funnier.

A wise forumer a few days ago told us to stay away from Vp...its basically useless with her/him/it.....her/him/it, a true partitionist and turk propagandist, i just wish some other Turk cyps would come back and have serious and productive debates....

There aren't any, they are all partitionists at heart.

I beg to differ... the YKP and BKP, what my father calls the remains of AKEL in the north though they themselves might differ, are both staunchly pro-unification... I am questioning my communist beliefs... but I am not questioning their sincerity...
