listen my dear since the incident where israel killed 9 unarmed terggish volunteers, israel has finally realised the value of terggy and is making amends. dont do a kickopoulos on us and go stupid.
Lordo, I don't know what it is that you are celebrating, because to date after 5 years, Israel has not met any of Turkey's demands, including an apology. What Israel gave Erdogan over the phone was a non apology apology because that's the best Erdogan was going to get. I know Erdogan trumpeted as a major concession from Israel for getting an apology, but it was not an apology. It was a lot of jargon that made no sense. It was just another big lie told by Erdogan. It is a second nature for Turks to lie, even when they tell the truth, it is always half-truth. When Erdogan said that he regretted the Russian jet being shot down and pilots killed and that they were upset by it, which was said on camera and in print, it was 100 times more of an apology than what Netanyahu gave Erdogan on a secret telephone call that nobody else heard, other than perhaps, Obama, stated by Erdogan, but Obama never stated it.
As for getting $20 million from Israel, just dream on. Israel offered $100,000 for each of the Turks they killed just as I predicted and that amount has not changed. Right now Erdogan's balls are in the hands of Putin and Obama and they can get Erdogan to do what ever they want. After Obama made Erdogan pull Turkish soldiers out of Iraq yelling and screaming, he is now going to make Erdogan settle with Israel on Israel's terms to drop ALL charges against the Israeli military. Erdogan will claim he got $20 million from Israel for compensation as well as easing embargo on Gaza, but it will not be the truth. I can assure you the families will not get $2 million each or they were told to lie about it that they did in fact get it. Israel will keep it's mouth shut and not spill the beans on Erdogan just so that Erdogan can save face. You are typical Turk I was telling MR-from-NG about recently, that you are a sheep and believes everything you hear or read.
That was a non apology too.
Everyone expressed condolences and sadness, but in reality everyone knew Pootin was cruising for a broozin and got a black eye.
All these things are a non apology, because both Israel and Turkey will not alter their disposition. Turkey will continue to defend its sovereignty and Israel will still maintain the blockade even if another Turkish Ship attempted to violate it.
A country can't afford to compromise on these things. Once you do compromise, then you're in a world of hurt.
Turkey was forced to make a statement by Pootin.
