Gadaffi called the protestors rising up against his rule rats. Such terms have been cited by Hutu radicals of the Tutsi population before the Rwanda genocide began.

If Turkey is a ship will Erdo be like Smith or Avranas? Or will he die of cancer first?
Come on folks, all concentrate and direct our telekinetic powers at him...

GR... Try reading the post before rushing to comment! They are not trying to have a conversation with anyone. It is a letter of "Condemnation" ending with a statement, expressing, his behaviour may well constitute a "Case to Answer" in Strasbourg (European Court of Human Rights)...

Further more, lets not forget that the very people fighting against the likes of Erdoğan and who died or got maimed in the process were also Turks! Your remarks are strongly racist and may also constitute a "case to answer" in Strasbourg! :?

The world has recently seen (at no surprise to us) the typical Turkish “Grand Vizier” mentality and I believe this extends right down to the family level where the male is an absolute authoritarian and the older women have a matriarchal status.

It’s no surprise to us… you are Muslims and that’s how it is in your society.

OZ you ignorant man with double standards. Put a stop to Turkeys demands for political equality in Cyprus and tell the Turks to end the occupation and withdraw from our country.

I think this goes to the point you were making, GR.

Fcuking unbelievable! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Presence of pregnant women in public is ‘disgraceful,’ says Turkish lawyer
ISTANBUL

Turkish lawyer and Sufi thinker Ömer Tuğrul İnançer has sparked a public outcry after telling state television station TRT 1 that it was immoral for pregnant women with huge bellies to reveal themselves in public.
“Announcing pregnancy with a flourish of trumpets is against our civility. [They] should not wander on the streets with such bellies. First of all, it is not aesthetic,” İnançer said. “After seven or eight months of pregnancy, future mothers go out their husbands by car to get some fresh air. And they go out in the evening hours. But now, they are all on television. It’s disgraceful. It is not realism, it is immorality.”

He is part of that "highly educated population". :roll:

Anyhow, the Turkish government responds to the letter with fury. AKP spokesman Hüseyin Çelik described the letter, which was penned by a list of famous figures, including actors and authors, as an example of “arrogance,” saying it “was served to them [the writers] by those inside the country.”

“The answers that need to be given will be given. This is extremely arrogant and out of place behavior. We strongly refute and condemn it,” Çelik said.

OZ you ignorant man with double standards. Put a stop to Turkeys demands for political equality in Cyprus and tell the Turks to end the occupation and withdraw from our country.

Maximouse! What flucking nursery did you graduate from to call me "ignorant"? Listen you flucking peasant! I do not have double standards but you clearly are a "special needs" person in the brain department! I will never say Turkish army should withdraw before an agreement in Cyprus and for all your screaming and shouting all these years they are still there. All your huffing and puffing over the past 40 years done fcuk all to remove anyone - just in case you have not noticed no one else in Europe is demanding it either! That is because just like me and other TCs, Europe can read straight through Greek mentality. Everyone is aware that the only reason you want Turkish army out of Cyprus is so that you can have another go in exterminating TCs. We do not trust you and more so when reading your persistent stupid fanatic posts in these forums.

If Turks withdraw, they will withdraw from "our" country (the one whose flag on the mountain you wake up to every morning) not yours - Not yours at least until we do agree on a solution and can live together under one flag. As for political equality - it is not Turkey but the TCs who will not settle for anything less. What are you on man? You think we give back the land, forget about the land we left in the South, become minority citizens in a Turk hating country where the Orthodox church runs the show, and wait to become extinct in time by the laws and regulations they will come up with. IN YOUR DREAMS!

The way I see it, you are digging your own grave and I warned GCs in this very foum 4-5 years ago; If you persist on making silly demands and not show the respect they deserve to TCs then you will find no TC to negotiate with - Instead you will be talking to mainland settlers - which is exactly what is happening today. You think you will have Maraş for nothing? (you won't even get near Morphou, no TCs there now - they are almost all Turkish settlers as of last year) No such thing was proposed to you so maybe you should wait another 200 years to get all back :lol:

It was your government that proposed they get back Maraş and Turkey allows its airspace and ports to Cyprus shipping in return for allowing/recognizing free trade in Famagusta. Our side said not until Ercan is also accepted as an international airport! That is where the negotiations were at last time I heard anything. So what is all this hyped up drunk Indian talk by all the idiots in this forum "we should have that too...", "No we should have all or nothing..." etc. - well, fluck off and have nothing then!

TRNC is stronger then ever and we do not mind living as a free nation using indirect flights and trade, (while your airlines and trade go bust) rather than live under Greek rule, whose sole aim is to rid the island of anything that may be remotely related to Turks. Anyway I had enough of this flippin form for this week, I will not log on for the next few weeks and allow you to enjoy your usual heroic huffing and puffing that cannot even pluck a single hair from my balls - never mind the land I live in! :evil:
