All through illegitimate ways and Turkey is a human trafficking broker. According to the EU, she is the worst violator for smuggling immigrants through her territory in to Greece. They arrive by the hundreds daily and pay around €3000 to smugglers to get them in. In a perverted way, Turkey is acting as a bridge between east and west. Once the immigrants are smuggled in, they dont know what they are going to do or how they are going to do it. They have not thought that far ahead but it become Greece's and the EU's burden.repulsewarrior wrote:...it is possible that Turkey will Modernise its State, so that it is Bicommunal, a Federation, and Bizonal, where the Federal Government is Sovereign in representing its Citizens, and where there are Territorial Jurisdictions where people as Persons acting in National Assemblies to sustain and promote the distinctions of this Identity choose, in demonstrating Goodwill toward the minorities amongst them.

If they cant agree at these peace talks to solve the 'Kurdish question', there very well could be a Turkish spring. With the spill over of Syria in the mix, things can get quite explosive.
The country is split. 30% are kurds, that would prefer to not live under the Turks or the Turkish banner if they had a choice. From those that remain, a slight majority prefer to look at the world through an Islamic eastern filter. Only about 30% of Turkeys population want to join the EU and identify themselves as Europeans. These investments are mostly European too and they have probably been made on the western sides of the country. This area is historically Greek. The EU can scoop up her investments by ceding the area to Greece and bring them all in house. Is it better to feed an Islamic risky schizophrenic that will not reform that threats?
Turkey must stay secular and observe international law if she is to modernize but Erdogan is spinning too many 'wobbly' plates in my opinion, to the detriment of everyone in the region.

Thats where you are wrong, Turkey has the right to intervene, in order to resolve matters then she will leave. Have we resolved anything no so thats why she will remain, simple really but unfortunately you are unable to comprehend facts.

...and like all Humans, i have faith in People, Turk or not, Spring returns eternal.
