More rubbish with your benign weasel words and twisted lies. Historically, there was no democracy in Cyprus because of people who think like you. Instead, and what resulted from this demand for 'political equality' was an invasion, ethnic cleansing and the transportation of settlers from Turkey.

You don't support everyone's fight for their rights, you don't support the rights of Cypriots and their freedoms in Cyprus that's for sure. You blame them for their fight instead and the loss of a third of their country to Turkey.

You want to "legally" oppress Greek Cypriots and you don't even support democracy in a settlement to Cyprus's problem. I wont go into the kurds but you are a folly and a hypocrite.

As I said before, you fool no one. Repent, before its too late.

The man pictured below, arrested for attacking Gezi Park protestors with a cleaver and then later released pending trial on the grounds that he was unlikely to abscond, apparently left Turkey on Wednesday, on the 16.30 flight to Casablanca from Istanbul Airport. Funny that, I have flown from Istanbul Airport and they have a computerised passport control system there (in fact they do at all border points). This individual was prohibited from leaving the country pending trial for serious assault, and this should have been entered into the immigration/emigration computer system, so how come he was able to go?

In another cleaver attack on peaceful protestors, this time in Ankara, (suddenly becoming quite fashionable!) the police said that they were unable to identify the perpetrator, so four witnesses identified him as Ataman Yıldırım, son of the Adım Quarter Head Person Yılmaz Yıldırım. Now the police say that they are unable to find him!

Meanwhile, with the police "slipping up" all over the place in bringing those who attack peaceful protestors with meat cleavers to justice, you will be glad to know that they "got their woman" when it came to arresting 62 year old Mücella Yapıcı (below) for the heinous offence of attempting to enter the public park known as Gezi Par in Istanbul (now protected under a court ruling) on Saturday, and she was subjected to a strip search and abusive treatment at the police station.

Experts preparing a report into Ali İsmail Korkmaz's murder, meanwhile, appear to have found CCTV footage showing part of the beating that killed him:

There may be 5-6 extra ticket sales on that 1630 flight to Casablanca!

Just to show that the Turkish police are not all slackers, they are pictured below in action. Here plain clothes policemen confront these elderly women on Saturday 6 July who are sitting in Gezi Park, Istanbul, a public park now protected under a court ruling, and tell them to get out. This was because two and a half hours after it had been reopened to the public in a ceremony attended by the Provincial Governor, an arbitrary decision was taken to close the park again.

Somehow the words of that Gilbert and Sullivan song about the Paris gendarmes come to mind:

We're public guardians, bold yet wary,
And of ourselves we take good care!
To risk our precious lives we're chary,
When danger looms we're never there!
But when we meet a helpless woman,
Or little boys that do no harm,
We run them in,
We run them in,
We run them in,
We run them in,
We show them we're the bold gendarmes!
We run them in,
We run them in,
We run them in,
We run them in,
We show them we're the bold gendarmes!

Come on Tim, according to Erdogan's government, for her to enter the Gezi Park, this woman is a terrorist, a looter and a “foreign agent” sympathiser and if all that wasn't enough to convict her, she most probably also tweeted, which must be punishable by death.

So, come on Tim, the Turkish government can only have so much patients and understanding towards these people of the Turkish society. I mean, how dare she enter into a public park and not expect to be punished for it?

Maybe if she was brandishing a meat cleaver it would have been a different matter.

If she was attacking protestors with it, the regime would classify her as "victim of terrorism" and she might also be entitled to "compensation" and "recognition".

what kind of fcked up radical thinking is this?
