As a secular Turk, I don't agree with Tim's choice of showing his support this way, I am sure his Gezi posts would appear in google search in more constructive forums as well if his real intention is spreading out the word. Plus Turks would have appreciated him for showing solidarity, but not like this for sure.
...and because some choose to bash, the rest of us are painted with the same brush, ignored because we are not "Turkish", which is to say not supporters of the Turkey Erdogan proposes. you should consider that the world is not divided between Erdogan's Turkey, and the "enemies" of Turkey, the world is not made up of "Greeks" and "Turks" (or, "Turks" ("Greek") and "not Turk"(not Greek")) alone. perhaps this forum is a collection of views for the Freedom which comes from free expression, and not a "Greek" forum, just a collection of Individuals with Cyprus in mind. Ignorance, is, "smashing Turkey in every opportunity in this forum because Turks did not let you turn Cyprus into a Greek island", i ask you to consider who the "you" is in this statement? if the population, overwhelmingly Greek came out to support the coup, i would agree with you; the "Greeks", but they are not as many as that, then an now, the coup failed (in hours, if not days) because Cypriots do not support their aims.
...you, stpier, are you "Turkish"? i am Greek, but no "Greek". it is hard to imagine someone Turkish or Greek who is Cypriot to be such a fan of Turkey, its Government, as it is today. in any case, it is time for a change in your attitude of mind, (if i may be so bold), and in ("your") Turkey, if you are what you say you are, a Human being, not a "Turk"/"Greek", (to better yourself, you must overcome the fear you have within yourself) i suggest that it is this hatred you have that allows you to dismiss "others" which must stop, by acting accordingly.
